On Being Closer to 30, Part 1

The other day, I was wasting time on my computer, browsing some old photos. Chris saw said old photos over my shoulder- photos from five years ago, when I first got my very first incarnation of the macbook and discovered the joy that is photobooth.



His comment? "Wow, you look so young!"

Which had me wondering if I really, you know, do I REALLY look all that older, five years later?

Do I? 

Shockingly, yes.

Dammit.

Which I discovered in vain, looking upon attempted photo after attempted photo on my now five-year-old (that's nearly 30 in computer years, you know) macbook. You know, I did try to recreate above photos, JUST for research purposes, of course.

You're welcome, of course.  What a face, I know.

Because, dammit again, come Sunday I'm going to be closer to 30 than 20.  I'll have jumped the hump to my nearly-late-twenties. I'll be six and twenty years aged.



My lord.

And to top it off, I found two grey hairs today. TWO. What the hell is happening to my world?

  2. Try not to count the grey hairs....keep your sanity. I have over 40 and I'm only 26 years old! So sad.

  3. Ahh, 26 hit me hard. I thought 25 would, but 25 was no biggie, whereas 26 was depressing. Now I'm 28...still alive and with more than 2 gray hairs. Ah, aging. Can't stop it!

  4. Is it weird that I stare at old pictures and then my face in a mirror and try to pinpoint HOW exactly I look older? Because I know I do, and it perplexes me what exactly it is that changed. Well, except the eye wrinkles. I like to think they're from being so darn happy, but yea. Probably not, lol!

  5. I speak to you from the future as a 28 year old! It's not so bad :) You've done some pretty kickass things in your life by 26. And personally I think you actually do look the same. I thought the top photos were recent!
