Wrinkles are a natural part of getting older, though, so I plan to bitterly accept them once I do get them. Stretch marks I could care less about. |

He was Former Prime Minister of Albania..he in a way was like a dictator..so we can associate with Trump afterall (: Ohh thank you for this information. Guess he has 'dictator' written on his face lol xD |

Psajdak said: I was 17 - 18 when I registered here, now I'm 29. :( Today I looked at some old family photos with my family, and god how I looked young, my sisters were crazy cute and sweet, which I never noticed since we often fought when we were kids. ... :( Why can't we just stay 17 forever like Kikuko Inoue? God, this isn't happening. :( Enjoy in thread. :( Biologically speaking age is just a number, you can still be 17 at 50 years old. Getting old and aging are 2 different things. Getting older is simply time passing, aging is degradation of your body caused by oxidation,inflammation,smoking, lack of anti-oxidants and too much cholesterol. Humans don't age naturally, lifestyle is what makes us age. Our DNA is set to kill us at age X but there's nothing in our DNA that says we need to get weaker and more vulnerable as we get older, if you suffer aging is because you had an unhealthy lifestyle. You can enjoy getting older by simply eating less cholesterol as close to 0 as possible, not smoking, starting to exercise and eating more fruits and roots for healthy antioxidants and fiber. You can live 90 years or 120 years regardless of lifestyle, this is pretty much genetic but you can decided how strong you will be during those years, both mentally and physically. |

Usagi said: The thought of aging until I eventually die is depressing, so I don't like watching the number increase to the inevitable very much. I also wish I could be a student forever, but I'm almost out of time with this lifestyle. I'm just glad my appearance hasn't started aging at all yet. I know other girls my age who look a lot older than me already. I'm not going to like it once I start to age physically too. :o another -93 user You seem joined about year earlier to MAL than me :o |

When I was young I felt VERY old especially in comparison to the people around me. I had a man's body in 6th grade and everybody else was mentally so immature. Now I'm old and I felt like I never got a chance to feel young. Genetics is like that. |
| Fun thing, I still look same as 7 years ago xD just more beard (and bald head, one thing I learned from army) 320 days watched anime, seriously I need get year limit broken! |

Vulze said: The problem is not in growing up, it is in growing discontent with yourself. This, sadly. Some people are born with a literal silver spoon and never have to worry about anything in their lives. In a way though, those people are unfortunate because they've been shielded from challenges which has limited the building of their character. |
| Getting old and getting more and more responsibilities sucks |
Psajdak said: xAlionnnn said: If anything, being responsible and an adult is not what I don't like about aging.Getting old and getting more and more responsibilities sucks More like, a lot of stuff that I enjoyed as a child, like, dunno, video games is simply something I'm too old to enjoy now. Why are you too old to enjoy them? Did you just lose interest in them, or? |
| I'm turning 23 tomorrow and as the years passed I've been feeling the same way to be honest. I first joined this site when I was 16, now I'm turning 23 and it feels kind of insane when you think about how fast time flies as you get older. I know I'm not too old yet and I won't say I know exactly how it feels to be 30+ etc but I definitely understand to some extent. It's kinda crazy how I came across this thread as I was thinking about this subject, I guess all in all it's just something everyone has to get used to. |
| ??????? |
| You're still a whippersnapper to me. You're not even a 30 year old boomer like I am! :-P |

| At 16, I obviously have no right to talk about getting old... but I will say one thing. I definitely did notice that sudden jump from being a kid to being more mature. Things that used to be thrilling and exciting beyond belief are getting less and less fun each year, and that childish spark of curiosity mostly got replaced by a calculated and careful mind and I can rarely ever approach anything with a carefree mindset nowadays. No matter how much I try, I'll never again be able to be that curious little kid who's able to just explore and think about fun and exciting things all day, and just thinking about that makes me feel incredibly bummed out. Man, I really wanna be a kid again :( All that being said, these feelings do just fuel my love for kids even more and I'm seriously thinking about working a job that involves working with smol kiddos when I grow up. After all, interacting with kids is the only thing nowadays that makes this childish spirit of mine remember where it belongs :) |

| It's natural to want to stay young and not die, but, once you think about it, it's unclear whether that would be better than aging and dying. Can perpetual life with no biological processes culminating in death even be considered life at all? Not to mention, some of the things that suck about aging occur because we stop growing — for example, the brain becomes less malleable, which makes it more difficult to acquire new abilities and substantively change core beliefs; we settle into places, communities, and careers, which makes life less dynamic and interesting — but, fortunately, it would be physically impossible for us to grow forever. Stagnant lives make for stagnant societies. It is well said that progress occurs one funeral at a time. Better to embrace mono no aware and temper your sadness with an appreciation of the beauty of life and all of the little things it has to offer. Easy said than done though. I can't say that I've made peace with death, but I have time... probably. deg said: Not that I'm against anti-aging research or expect there to be no increases in longevity, but I gleefully await the funerals of the "imma live forever" crowd. 29 years old is still young, just follow the news about CRISPR gene/genome editing to know when will eternal youth be achieve and see this video for medical developments to treat aging DarkInsomnia57 said: Words of wisdom right there.

| Reading this thread made me feel younger and made me wanna put some of y'all into a retirement home. |
| The only thing bad with getting old is that your physical state will eventually deteriorate, however with the modern scientific understanding of the body and a responsible living style it can be minimized as much as possible. The other part of getting old is that you first realize the effects of your actions on your life as you are allowed to make decisions for yourself in the real world and not a simulation of it like in high school or something. This allows for a lot of growth if you make good life choices but it can also be horrible if you don't (falling into addiction). But really you can do which ever you want with your life as long as you realize your own responsibility as the sole caretaker of your own existence, and don't blame others. |
| Time flies when you least expected. While my years of age keep increasing, appearance wise not much has changed (which is good) at all. |

papsoshea said: I’m turning 29 in December, I also have son. I still play games and read comics like I did when I was younger and just got back into watching anime because now I can watch it with my son. Maybe when I turn 30 I might wish I was 10 years younger I always like it when I see someone talk about their son, reminds me that I'm not alone. I'm just back from giving my son a push to school. |
| Talk is cheap, show me the code. Almost is not good enough. |
| yeah it sucks you find yourself living in routine of home, work and paying taxes like nothing else matters anymore.. at least anime helps to forget about it |
| We live in a generation where 29 is considered "old" dude you're far from the halfway point of life. Are you going to think of the moment when you posted this topic at the age of 40 as well? |

| yeah it freaking sucks but happens I believe that if we didn't we'd pretty much be bored as heck without continuation or evolution into our lives, that's why I'm kinda optimistic with time passing/getting older, because of the evolution I'm usually getting through but I do know your feeling, unfortunally |
| I feel ya, mate. Even I'm still 21 years old. |
 |
| i was 15... being a part of cd2 and having a group of friends was really cool... now im 19 yikes. definetly gonna end it before im 25 |
 |
| it really does suck. i was 17 when I started mal, now i just turned 20 wtf :-( man my fave age is when i was 17/18. good days |
| Getting old is an achevment. There are millions of dead people who would envy the fact that you reached 29. Sounds like you are having a mid life crysis |
| "among monsters and humans, there are only two types. Those who undergo suffering and spread it to others. And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus  |
| That mindset is only hurtful. When you think of your past, you often only remember the good memories. Live by the day and rarely think about your past. |
| Yeah, I honestly wish I could be 18 again. |
| Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength. |
