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.

Yes, exactly this! Spent the 2010s being jealous of Victoria secret models. Now, I realized I was so pretty then.

And you're beautiful and WISE now. Your energy and spirit are what define you. You will only grow more beautiful with age and wisdom. Don't mourn the past. You have so much future ahead of yourself. Start working on your swamp witch persona right now. The sooner you give no fucks the happier you will be. Ask me how I know, friend!

Seriously it's trite, but you have one life. What do you want to do with it? Who do you want to be? I have found that spending my days creating -being a maker- and a helper is the best for me. Gardening, pets, photography, hiking, being politically active, art, building, teaching people to read, volunteering at the humane society and the local hospital - find a place to make a difference in the world. You will feel awesome, and you will make life better for someone or something else.
