Fading

Met that tradesman again a few hours ago!
Three years ago, he was a happy chirpy young man, 30ish, very good looking, full of life, a very successful man in his field. Today, he just looked like a fading copy of his old self, worried & ordinary. Life with having a toddler and another in an elementary school must have been too tough for him and his wife.
My classmates and I have been fading away too, re: our looks. Time has that special power of blowing away all cobwebs and everything else in its path. (While those toddlers in our life grow up into handsome youths 
.)
Have your facial features changed a lot with time? For the better or worse? One of my grandma's sisters became much better looking with aging. She looked so striking in her later years with respect to her other used to be beautiful sisters.

I have been told I am prettier now than I have ever been.

The funny thing is, I think that trend happens with me too. I used to be insignificant among the females in my family. Now I am someone special

@LadyDuck You do have a point there, I didn't think of that (re: the face cream & aging). Someone tried to convince to use some aging cream when I was in my 40s. The idea was tempting, until I found the price for those tiny pots, about $100-200, each might last about a week.

Hi Darcy. Beauty fades in time and many are afraid to lose that beauty that is why they do everything to keep it. But I like to age gracefully because with aging comes wisdom and experience.

@mlgen1037 I went searching for those photos of that lady, but so far, I can't remember where I kept them.

@YrNemo I would have loved to see her too. I think we should not be afraid of aging. Instead, embrace it all the more. A lot of people are so desperate to keep up with beauty.

It's true. Raising kids isn't easy. I don't have kids. My youngest brother has a daughter, she's turning two this year. Such an adorable little girl, smart, too. She must've gotten it from my side of the family, haha... Back to the topic. My brothers looks older than me. I don't think I looked good when I was young? and I don't think it ever changed? =D

@YrNemo I look like a woman and no longer have that appearance of a vibrant well shaped youngster. I have to do something to get rid of my belly (lol)

I used to be a skinny and ordinary looking scholar from a very young age. I do look better these days with respect to those young years, but definitely fading compared to me in my 40s.

@allknowing As my children (many years ago) consoled me, 'mom, it is a good cushion for us to lean on...'

Our experience will leave a mark on our faces. A happy person will show it on his face. A sad person is the same.

Age is an interesting thing, isn't it? I like to think I get better looking :-)

mother thinks another factor is if you have a bony, angular face versus a round or oval plump face where the features aren't sharp or pronounced.

From what your pic showed in the past, you looked OK, quite attractive. (Unless you mean you used to look MUCH better, much more attractive? )
)
