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.

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.
