Getting Old... - Page 2

littlecricket2 · #16 07-10-2005, 07:58 PM

I am 28 and have tons of gray hair. My students even noticed it once when my roots started growing in! It's just genetics, so it's no big deal--it doesn't make me feel old. Especially since I still look young in the face and I still have my figure. And, I'm lucky enough to have a sister who does hair for a living, so I get a great discount on professional dye jobs,

.

And I am really enjoying being single right now. I just broke up with someone because going out with him wasn't really adding anything to my life, the chemistry wasn't there, and I couldn't see myself spending the rest of my life with him, so what's the point? Believe me, better to be alone with the hope of good things to come than to be trapped in a relationship, wishing you were free!

Dude, I thought you were in your early 20s? You look very young.

see, I agree with the person who said age was a state of mind....Ive got *ahem* young *friends* I see from time to time and the age difference doesnt mean a thang! I guess I'll always be a big kid, even when Im a white hair, Ill be all about silly things and having fun

Wow, you are well preserved.

Also, I no longer feel so old!

I'm probly still older at 34. But I don't feel 34. Now I know what people mean when they say that.

Seriously, your stories about your young *friends* really inspire me. Really.

I will turn 30 this year and am none too excited about it. But whatever, beats the alternative!

I thought you were in your twenties! I'm 34 too... here's to looking and feeling young at 34!

My cop last nite guessed I was 27. I love that.

That's my age, too. Most often guessed. Unless someone is trying to pick me up, then they say...23 or 25.

Haha, that's what guys usually say to me too but I never believe them.

Still, I like hearing the words, "I thought you were 24."

You do look incredibly young (not that you're old because you certainly are not). Had you not told me your age, I would have thought you were mid- twenties at the oldest

Why not? I choose to believe. I got carded for cigarettes the other day.

But I don't think I look that old, yet. Well, not most days.

I couldn't possibly agree more! Did y'all catch that post? Wise words.

IMO, no one's really old until he or she has hit 70. At that point I imagine one is pretty used to the idea of being old. My point is that none of you are old.
