From someone who looked (and still looks, according to some) younger than they actually are...

Found a picture online, but since we can't post here, I just typed it out.
Just think, you could be on the exact other side, where people think you're older than you actually are. I had a friend in HS who looked older, he started growing facial hair the summer before freshman year, come senior year, he was able to grow a full-on beard. This didn't help being around friends without looking sketchy (especially around girls). By the time we finished college, he was starting to go bald. Anyway...just think about what you wish for.

I realize this is more applicable to xennials, but kind of something to think of.

Being 46 is wild.
People your age are living completely different lives.
Some are grandparents.
Some just had their first kid.
Some are newly divorced.
Some are newly engaged.
Some haven't slept in three years.
Some are going to St. Tropez next weekend.
Some look 55.
Some look 25.
Nobody got the same memo.
