I'm 78 yo..as I've gained my decades, at 30, teenagers looked like kids but 20-30 looked good..40 looked old..when I was 40's the 50s yo started to look pretty darn good..and so on, but when I was in my 40s I realized if I didn't see some wrinkles they didn't look finished..now at 78, I see beauty that is that's hard to get into words..like a great work of art it takes my breath away, life is written on a body, hard labor, sorrow, even joy, happiness, fear..it's all right there in front of me..and I swear to God, the beauty, the price we pay in our physical appearance, it's like when you look at a newborn, you admire the perfection..in old age you admire the work it took to get there..and it's beautiful.. Hope that helps.. 😌
