I stole this link from a friend's post on facebook.
The pictures remind me of something I learned last semester in Life-span Development. At one point in your life, you're going to look into the mirror expecting to see an image of the young adult version of yourself staring back, but will be completely surprised to see a middle adult or older version of yourself with wrinkles and gray (or no) hair. We tend to imagine ourselves to look like the way we did when we were in our prime for many years after we have developed beyond it. This is not meant to be depressing or disheartening in any way. In fact, when I begin to think negatively about growing old, I think about something my dad always says...
"Maybe being old sucks... I don't know... But getting old isn't so bad..."
and
"If you don't want to get old, you have to die young... and who wants to do that?"
Anyway, I liked those pictures. I thought they were neat.
They are very neat!
