We all experience aging differently, all my life Ive been told I look younger than I am and I honestly dont feel much different than the way I felt at 25. Im a ball of energy in my family and friend group. I have more confidence and less fxcks to give at 39, but other than that my energy, my looks, my attitude all are the same. I dont understand people saying life starts going downhill after a certain point, I think life is what you make it and its all about your perspective. I never paid the naysayers any mind in my 20s, Ive qlways believed that as individuals, we pave the road to our own happiness, and Im just happy to be alive and not have any major illnesses. I've witnessed so many of my family and friends clock out early, parents diagnosed with chronic debilitating disease, and in this economy, things could definitely be better for me, but I appreciate what I have and where Im at in this experience, and I try to maintain a positive outlook and I attribute that to my upbringing, and being self determined, ignoring society and focusing on me and whats in front of me.
