okay see i'm young, but i'm not a simpleton, i understand that at some point i am going to get really old and look like a withered raisin... but the question here is: is it normal that the aging process frightens me? i'm used to my face as it is. it may not be the best one out there, but i'm accustomed to it. I dont want all the wrinkles, failing organs, and various flabby limbs that all seem to be side effects of getting on in the years. i go to lengths to preserve my youth by putting on sunscreen with my make up and exercising
vigorously. is it normal to be this worried about something so natural and common place that it happens to everyone???

    Just take good care of yourself. We're all going to die of natural causes someday. But the more you take care of yourself, the longer you'll live. Eat healthy, exercise often, and avoid smoking or drinking excessively.

    Look after your skin and your health. However, just as you're used to your face now, you were used to it 5 years ago, and you will be used to it in 5 years time, and 5 years after that... The wrinkles and the sagging etc creep up on you and nowadays there is always botox and plastic surgery. Don't worry about it you won't notice old age until you're almost 50.

    :o( Trust me!!

    Ok, first of all, it does not happen over night. You do not just wake up one day and *BAM* wrinkle face... Secondly, I look forward to being a classy old gentleman in my older years. I want to wear a cool hat like a Fedora or something, and a suit with a tie, smoke a wooden pipe with some home grown tobacco and a box of matches, carry a really nice wooden cane and have some nice leather shoes too. I want to be that happy old gentleman that loves kids, always sweet talks to the ladies, still drives a kick ass Harley Davidson, has no financial problems to worry about... Besides all the ensuing health problems, being old for me is going to kick ass!
