    Fuck that I look way better.

    I look older, sure. With less hair. A lot more single. But I’m down 90lbs and I’ve finally figured out style

    I’d change that as : “Being an adult is mostly realizing you didn’t look as bad as you thought you did because the only person that was concerned about that was you. Everyone else was doing their own thing focusing on themselves, just like they are now.

      I’ve always loved the word “sonder”. Knowing that people have their own lives and thoughts and usually they aren’t centered on you at all is liberating. I wish I had run across this as a kid, to realize that the peer pressure I thought was there giving me anxiety was totally self-inflicted and I could just be myself.

    Nah, with age I become wiser and my look is more or less stable for the last 20 years. Just more white hair but that doesn’t look bad.

    You’re maturing wrong :)

        Partly! Some women explode out the gate with a little age on them. My ex-gf was pretty in her 30s, but in her late 40s would turn heads when she walked in the room. And then there are the plain Janes in high school that turn out OMFG years later.

          All the high school girls I’ve seen have gotten fat, more ugly, still thirsty and dressing slutty, partying but have fallen off the wagon of beauty or so it seems. Some still got it so to say but it’s definitely not the same. Health is wealth people. The younger you start or just avoid bad shit the better off life isn’t linear. Alcohol is poison. Smoking is poison. Edibles are safer but again nothing is good.

        Yes, men definitely grow old better when it comes to looks. Women live longer than men though.
