...tell you in your mind "that the aged" without thinking that he say in his mind same about you;We refuse to believe that we've changed so much?
You are realistic and accept that life goes on all alike, and we all change, more or less? No one is forever young, now you have 20 years, tomorrow will be 40 ... so you find after years that passed over you, just one days?
As the years went on you?
You see yourself the same as 20 years ago? I wish you to be the same ... but unfortunately none of us is...

Hi, Ice!
I often forget that I've gotten old, because I don't feel that way. The mirror shows that my hair's white, and it's almost always a surprise! It might seem silly, but I don't feel like that old woman in the mirror at all! It helps, I think, that I haven't getten wrinkles or anything like that yet!

i will be more matured then compared to now.i will be having my own family and
children.

long time and we become nostalgic at that time.

Let get older is more a state of mind, know people who are 30 years old, and they are really old, and 60 people who radiate happiness and even some teenagers.
Of course, that you see you every day you not notice that you've changed, and will be hard to accept that an old colleague so changed, so you've changed too.

i've never thought of that till a friend told me "you're turning 30 this month right? welcome to the club friend" it made me realize am already old. at first it's difficult to accept but reality bites hehehe, we cant go any younger.
i really am enjoying my life and never thought am getting older. we'll it shows on the face, it's not thesame anymore as when we were in our early 20's. but tend to ignore the signs hehehe.
i met a high school friends one time, asked me how many kids do i have, said none yet am still single coz am still young. she laughed, i've learned from her that all of our batchmates in high school were all married now and got kids except for two, me and another classmate which is in canada now and is engaged to be married. so now am the last one left hehehe. am not worried though coz i beieve am still young till now hehehe. still enjoying being single :-)

People age. That's just a fact of life, and something to be expected. I'd be worried if they didn't age "somewhat." LOL I found a friend of mine (an old neighbour) on Facebook, whom I had not seen in years. I had not seen her since 2000. She really hasn't changed much, but then again, neither have I. LOL Now, if we hadn't seen eachother in 20 or 30 years, I would expect more changes.
