Or as my husband's Southern-ass grandma called it, the "war of northern agression" 🙄

Yup. I voted for this guy and am so beyond disappointed.

1. Eyesight is getting worse. It's hard to read in dim light, and driving at night can be rough.
2. Takes my body longer to recuperate from anything that it doesn't like - injuries, alcohol, upset stomach.
3. Age spots. I thought they were just freckles but my dermatologist says they're age spots. I'm only 43!

Aging is funny, because there's always someone who thinks you're ancient, and there's always someone who thinks you're still super young. I was at a bar a couple weeks ago, and these two dudes were complaining about how old they were getting.... so I asked, turns out they were the ripe old age of twenty-eight. Which made me laugh a little, because 28 is still pretty young. And when I told them I was 43 they couldn't believe it. I guess in my twenties I didn't have an accurate idea of what people in their forties looked like either. Conversely when I made some comment to my parents about being middle-aged, they laughed at me because "you're in your forties, you're not middle-aged!". So it's all relative. My dad said something that stuck with me: you may feel like you're getting older, but when you're my age (he's 75) you'll realize how young you still were, and how much energy you had. And that's helped me be aware that even though there are some aspects of aging that I really hate, there are plenty of good healthy years left.

I didn't know you could botox that!

Oh man I hear ya in headlights and dashboard lights. NIght driving is getting to be pretty rough for me.

Interesting! My google apps all changed to French, I wonder why yours didn't.

I'm a native English speaker but my phone and fitbit are in French. I minored in French in college and I'm trying to shake off the rust.

I thought everyone could?

Haha me too! When I was a kid my podiatrist told me it would be good physical therapy for the growing pains I had along with flat feet. Not sure if it worked but it definitely kept me entertained!

I'm the opposite. Petite 5'0" lady who sounds like an entire community of elephants when I walk.

I mean... different strokes for different folks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Interesting. I still wonder why, because this was a trend in the '90s that died out with camera phones and social media. Maybe it's a retro throwback trend that got popular with younger folks? Still, I thought they stopped manufacturing Polaroid paper, and can you still get film developed at like the grocery store or a pharmacy?
