No it’s a privilege denied to many.
Iv seen way more than my fair share of people die in my 36 years.
Lately I have excelerated in age.
It doesn’t bother me, my life is so rich, always has been so my looks haven’t concerned me much since my early 20s.
Even in high school, though I had insecurities to work through ovcourse but I came to accept myself through travelling.
I’m a really decent human being. Iv put a lot of work into my self over the years and I’m very proud of the life iv built.
I’m curious to see how I grow, evolve, how life shows itself on my body and my face as the years move on. I hope I can tell grandkids one day about how all my lines came to be.
Most all my friends get Botox or more. I just feel like if I take away my crow lines, I’ll erase my stories of years spent on beaches are the world , the two wrinkles under my eyes and from the sleepless nights I spent breast feeding and stroking my kids to sleep.
My hands are weathered from so many surfs with hubby.
By back and chest is triangles with freckles and aging skin and fine wrinkles forming all over from years spent sitting on the beach watching my kids enjoy life.
The wrinkles forming near my hairline were born in the grief of losing my 6 year old nephew.
The forehead lines became noticeable deeper while my mum battled cancer for 2 years ultimately losing.

I’d love to experience grandchildren, to see my children realise finally how deeply I loved them.
I’d love to see how my husband looks at 60.if he passes away before me I wonder how it might feel to find love again to go through those first days weeks and months of a new romance.

But if I leave tomorrow, my life has given me enough.

God no. I'm gonna age gracefully 😜

I just get Botox

I feel less worried about it as I get older, ironically because I felt like I had achieved more of the things I wanted to. I'm a bit scared of dying early

I get Botox and fillers and look after my skin and hair and nails.

No, I worry all the time that cancer or something else will take me before I get the chance to grow old ...

After having my two boys, literally a year apart I’ve gained a lot of weight (which I’m currently working off) and I feel like it’s made me look 10 years older and I’m only 23

Not unless I want to change careers and become a medical receptionist like the lady in the other thread!!! 😂😂😂

No im not worried about it, but i look about 10 years younger then i am, so that probably helps. At most i slightly worry about my health as i get older, but not my appearance, i love wrinkles, especially when they are ‘smiley wrinkles’. I grew up with a VERY shallow mother who was and and still is OBSESSED with her appearance, even though she has always been ‘typically beautiful’ most of her energy goes into how she looks, i made the decision at about 6 years old, not to be like her on that regard and i have been free of that shit all my life. Luckily though i guess i would also be considered ‘typically beautiful’ so i accept that and work with what ive got, but i am free of the obsession of beauty and staying youthful, and for that i am grateful. I enjoy the scars, the odd grey hair, a bit of sag etc. i find it interesting to observe.

I am 26 and found one grey hair last week so yesterday I dyed my hair...I was going to hold out until isolations over but caved in. I ended up with black arms because I picked up the towel I had on my shoulders and now have stains all on my arms until they fade 😂 sooo I guess I might.

Nope. Many people don't have the option.

Yes I am terrified of growing old.
I would be happy to get to 75 then die as weird as that sounds

Only worried about my parents getting too old

Yes! I’m fighting it with botox & hair dye physically (that’s easy) but the inevitability of death scares the crap out of me.

Yes, but then I think about how ageing is a gift not afforded to many.

I struggle with the thought of ending up like those in nursing homes, being fed and wiped and kept alive against my will...
But I don't know if that's fear of ageing process of fear or developing illness and comorbidities etc
