I have notice that as time passed by, I have changed. Physically is the most obvious part. However I noticed, that as I my age grow bigger so as me totally. I have noticed that as I get older in life, I have become more accustomed to life. How else has getting older changed you?

I'm 23 years old.....I've looked the same since I was 14, no change in weight, hieght, etc.....my attitude is much better, I don't get in fights anymore because of stupid people running their mouths..........
I would say as I got older I learnt more about the world and how fast it changes too....My kids have changed my attitude because I want them to be polite, curtious, and respected so now thats me....
I've become changed in many many different aspects, trust, relationships, temper, knowlegde, health.....

Yups, my face is not as smooth as back when i was a kid but i'm still glad because i don't have craters hehe.. Well, i noticed too that i'm having a hard time maintaining my resistant because other than allergic rhinitis bother me, i think age has something to do with it too. Despite all that, i think as i grow old, i'm also learning to accept that it's a fact that i will facing sooner or later.

Hello Adore may. I think that the physical changes are rather obvious, but lucky are the ones that experience and realize their intellectual evolution, and i am talking here about the whole mind as well as the heart, not just the baggage of knowledge. As time goes by i feel that i am getting to know myself better from all points of view, and discover things that i like.
About this topic i just read this somewhere and thought it would be interesting to post here: "You can change your purposes, but don't change your values".

Yes, we do grow old with time. As time pass by we change,we become mature enough.We focus more on our goals and aim to achieve them. We become more responsible with our actions and decisions.We become more sensitive to the feelings of people around us. We become focused on everything that we do, growing old is a good thing.

Hello adoremay! at one point of my life, i fear of growing old! but really, with the experiences in life, the hardship, the happy memories with family and friends, every heartaches, pain, success, failures, everything adds up to the real me. and growing old is something to look forward to, we just have to make the right choices, and the right decisions to make us happy.

I think that growing old with time, I have certainly become more receptive towards people's attitude and behavior. Like becoming more tolerable in a way. And also to accept the fact that in this world, not everything will go the way you want. You just have to make do with the situation and making the best out of everything.

I think that I have been through a lot of changes in my life. I am now forty years old. Life's experiences have made me change in different ways. Of course I feel a little older and I do feel a little more tired being a stay at home mother of a young son.
I believe in some sense I have become more patient and some ways I have become less tolerant of noises, loud music and other pandemonium. Things that didn't bother me before seem to bother me now. I know that I have become more set in my ways as I got older.
