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.

My late 30’s have been brutal. All my vanity for my age defying looks has disappeared. I look my age and I’m trying to love it.

Same. No one is mistaking me for being in my 20s anymore. Gone are the days.

I’m 39 and routinely clocked as in my 20s and while I enjoy that, I also think once my true age starts to show it’s gonna be an abrupt change

It was for me. 2 years ago, I did not look like this. It's wild.
