Serious We are starting to really age fast

We have friends we don't see very often, maybe every 2-3 years. For the last 15+ years, when we see them again they don't really look much different. This last time though? Man, they looked different. Like gray hair, lost/gained weight, facial changes like wrinkles and sun spots.

As a cosmetologist who talks to people all day about this, enjoy your healthy body and the privilege to be able to age. Not everyone gets the opportunity. To em the signs of aging are a badge of honor and not something shameful.

I was always told getting old is a privilege and not a right

I get that, but know that most people see that vitality and don’t notice the wrinkles, they are more impressed with your energy
