they say enjoy your youth....but people should really start enjoying getting older. your world does not stop once you turn 30 (or 50, or 80 for that matter), you are beautiful pre-menopausal and post menopausal, believe that those crows feet and smile lines are memories from your amazing past.

so, STOP with this "i hate getting old" stuff!! you are only as old as you think. so age gracefully, embrace each birthday, and accept all the new things that life is STILL offering and STILL teaching you. i know i am only 19 years of age but i suck the nectar out of life that is offered to me each day. and i plan on continuing to do so even if i am 91. YOU SHOULD TOO.

    I'm 21, but look forward to writing an anti aging book when i am older...I have some unconventional methods which will be sure to help x3

    ps: I mean this in a good way. I think it will be fun to have people guessing my age when I am older :D

    Hear, Hear! I'm turning 40 in a little over a month and am really proud that I made it this far (crazy lifestyle made me doubt this would ever happen), I think we should embrace every moment, be thankful for every day, and make the most of it!

    I'm thinking I finally have my act together, and that turning 40 is only the beginning to a whole new chapter. I can't wait!

    And stay away from ostereoperosis drugs. They really make you sick. Say NO to your doctor and to Big Pharm!

    I'm 32 and don't have a complaint in the world aging.

    I do believe you are only as old as you make yourself to be, or feel.

    Sure some things suck about getting older but the increased libido makes it all worth it. Wait til you hit your late 30s, early 40s ladies. Sexually, I kick my 20 year old self's *kitten*. Trust me, it gets so much better!

    Great post. In just a little over two years and three months I'll be 60. I'm excited about it because I'll be a senior citizen at church and I'll be eligible to be named senior citizen of the week. :happy: Also I'll get to go to the head of the line with the other senior citizens during church potlucks. :bigsmile:

    I'm 41, and getting older does have some draw backs but there are draw backs to any age. I really try to live with the belief that age is just a number and life is what you make of it. And it sure is fun to see the shock on peoples face when they find out my age because I've been very lucky to always have been thought to be much younger than I really am.

    I sucked alot of nectar at 19 too, but things do change, especially after 40. It's just kinda different, 'cause I really don't feel this age in my head. Honestly though, at 19 you can't even imagine the things that start to happen after 40. Still, I wouldn't trade it for anything!
