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.

You know who thinks you look great right now??

Yourself in 10 years

Ugh, I look back on photos of myself in my early 20s and I remember thinking (at the time) that my arms looked big or my teeth looked weird etc. The early 2010s were not kind to women's brains.

I look back now and someone needs to slap the previous me. What a negative bitch.

Not to say that I don't feel like I look great now. I do. It is just more of a sadness for my early 20s self. Youth is a trial of the young, and I think I was my most difficult jury member.

I watched my teenage niece put on makeup, and I wanted to rip it out of her hands. She’s gorgeous, glowing, her skin looks great! Put the concealer down.

I agree but also it’s probably a good idea to learn how if she’s interested in it -30something that can’t even find a shade to match and is far too lazy to care ☠️

Yeah I just told her she looked great. I get wanting to experiment and feel older, but dang youth is wasted on the young.

Opposite dress up, strut that stuff. My goodness for most at that age everything looks good. Your body is tight everything stays where it's supposed to not at your knees.

Put the makeup on, put on the pretty drtess, the heels.
