Yeah, I completely get your point on this. If I was obsessed with getting old at this point, I'd have had to hang up my hat when I had to get dentures at 26 because well.. medication can deteriorate your teeth enamel (though they don't tell you that when you're actually in PAIN and such) and I was feeling like I had franken mouth. Thankfully I don't feel old even now. I don't get the obsession with age, I know that 30 is looming close and I don't feel any different, I'm just happy I made it this far. I'm actually looking forward to being an old grey hair granny because then I can actually dye my hair pink or purple and no one can say anything to me about it.

I don't fear age. I do fear long my sharp wit, and my sense of humor. I don't understand why people are so concerned with a few wrinkles. I have bumps and bruises and old looking spots, but I tend to treasure them. I'm 20, and I've been in martial arts since third grade. I've been a spaz for a lot longer than that.
