About Aging......

Worrying/stress ages us. Sadness ages us. Depression ages us. Physical illness ages us.
I have seen people age within days of their ICU admission. It's so strange....aging. The face just changes. The smile droops....the eyes sink in....the cheeks sag....

I should just try to stay happy. Stress less. Things will happen on their own time. I have already aged too much in 5 years.

I will celebrate whether I pass or fail. I will take a break and go on a holiday. A cheap one of course lol. I will go on walks. I will read all the books on my list. I will live in the moment.

You are absolutely right everything you just said even the five years comment because I have been really stressed the past five years going through a divorce and raising kids and family members who are sick and and un happy relationships.

It has taken a toll on my face not to mention I have picked up a couple of naughty, recreational habits to soothe my depression and deflect, I haven’t been taking care of my skin when I swim in the ocean or pool.

I have had a shit five years and I gave up on self care.

But I have my mojo back. I have the desire to live again, and be healthy and I will reverse the pain of the last five years because I no longer feel so sad and stressed and hurt. I have removed the negative energy out of my life.

I’m glad you are feeling better to keep up the good work.
