Aging

Jan 21, 2011 22:18

 I'm seriously scared of getting older. I look pretty similar to my paternal grandmother so I have a hint of how I'll age. I'm not liking it. I don't want to be old and wrinkly, have boobs that hit the ground or the hurdle of menopause. Puberty was hard enough, then there was second puberty which was a task (when I turned 20 I woke up 2 cup sizes bigger. I assume this happened since my first puberty came very early in my life). Menopause is like stage 3, only with more bone loss and shrinking size. According to Body Works (or worlds? the one at San Jose recently), you lose 1/3 of your body mass (muscle-skeleto) by the time we are 70.

I also keep having these self-awareness moments. The kind where you can see your self from a 3rd person perspective or I feel like an old woman on the cusp of death who is reflecting on her life. I think when you can see yourself from a 3rd-person perspective that is true self-awareness. I had a bunch at FC. If you see me blanking out for a minute, I'm probably having one of those moments.
