Is it just me?? Alt title "When I was a boy!"

Stanley W. Shura @stanws (126) • Stoughton, Massachusetts 9 Nov 18

I dont know if it is a function of age, or "modern times" (including the impact of social media), climate change (natural AND social!) or just the ebb and flow and cyclical nature of life and all its phenomena, but does it seem to...

Elizabeth @Poppylicious (11134) • United Kingdom 27 Jan 17

A student on Tuesday was ever-so kind to me. You need to dye your hair again! she told me. Are my grey hairs coming back?! I asked. [i]You know, I might just leave it. Or maybe be really outrageous. Perhaps a shade...

Accepting my new age

Colene @cpefley (1941) • San Jose, California 21 Oct 15

Yesterday, I turned 37. It is so surreal how quickly life flies by, and how things change so quickly. In a few months, my oldest will be an adult, and a few months after that, he will be off to college. I know I'm not ready for...

Big people worry me.

savypat @savypat (20216) • United States 24 Oct 11

I never had this problem before, I was never a small person as an adult, just average. But lately I have become aware at how easily I am physically hurt. I don't shake hands anymore, my hands hurt to much, I watch my personal...

How to cope with getting older?

beautifulBrooke @beautifulBrooke (191) • United States 24 Oct 09

As I vastly approach the big 4-0, I am finding myself more disappointed at my mirror's reflection. The women in my family have a long history of aging quickly. I began getting gray hair around age 33. All of the usual signs of...

Eeek! gray hair! Do you have any gray hair? When did it start?

Rocketj1 @rocketj1 (6955) • United States 26 Sep 08

I noticed mine about 2 years ago. Mostly at the temples. I'm dark blond and it is not too much of a contrast with my hair color. I can cover it by brushing my hair a certain way. But it is definitely there. Recently I highlighted...

Are you scared of growing old?

littleone3 @littleone3 (2063) 17 Apr 08

When me and my sister were teenagers we both decided that we did not want to get old. We did not want to live past 60-65. But now that we our both in our thirties and both have children we no longer have that fear. We want to...

I read this email and it was so touching, what do you think about it? The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a...

I'm turning 30 at the beginning of next year and i'm already feeling a little blue. I know that 30's are suppose to be the best years of your life, but i'm not sure i'm going to agree with that. I loved being in my 20's. Have...

It's my birthday. Help me not be depressed.

Starmac @Starmac (27) • United States 21 Mar 07

It's my birthday, and of course I'm happy to have one. The alternative certainly doesn't appeal to me. However, the gap between how I feel inside (about 30) and how old my body is (a lot older than that) just keeps getting wider....

Do you feel like you're getting younger as you grow older?

myworld_and_you @myworld_and_you (1223) • Philippines 6 Mar 07

I have come up with this question because I remember one officemate that I had. We call her Mommy Dixie. She's already in her early 40's but looks like she's still in her late 20's. Could you imagine that? She has a slim body and...

This Could Get Ugly Very Quickly

kitchenwitchoftupper @kitchenwitchoftupper (2290) • United States 26 Feb 07

When you first get pregnant, you are told that there are "stages" of pregnancy. When you have the child, you are told that there are "stages" in that baby's first year. You later learn from baby food jars that there are "stages"...
