I was told recently that I didn't look like I was 22 years old. I apparently look more like I'm 16 or 17 years old. Now even though this comment came from a 16 year old male Brazilian exchange student, quite possibly with hormones raging, I'm going to take it as a compliment and a sign that I am aging well (instead of just the charming ways of adolescent boys and Brazilians).
I mean I would rather look 5-6 years younger than 5-6 years older...yikes that would put me in the 27-28 year range. Although it is somewhat intriguing to think about my life in 5-6 years and where I will be and what I will have accomplished, I like to take things one day at a time or at least one year at a time.
But back to vanity issues, I do notice the fine lines that are starting to appear on my forehead and wonder when I should declare a full-fledged battle against them. I think I will wait until 25, unless things get noticeably more noticeable.
But that is enough picking on myself...I have flaws just like everyone, yet I like myself just how I am. Am I perfect? No. Am I happy with who I am and how I look? Yes. I have always had a good supply of confidence and rarely doubt myself and because of that, I know I am much happier in life.
Besides, beauty (or age) is in the eye of the beholder.
