I spotted my first grey hair this morning.

What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of aging?

when that happens to me i'm heading straight for the store and getting some hair dye

i've been streakly grey since 21

Hey Christaro!! Join the club!! I spotted my first grey hair about 2 years ago!! and now its becoming more prominant!!

The thing is there is nothing on this planet 2 reverse it!! U can put dye on it and even take some specific herbal remedies, but they just never work and u just cant stop the natural process of aging!!

Its just something that u have 2 accept, unfortunately!!

ive stopped counting


advantages:

disadvantages : more aches and pains

Why is it a sad thing Roz? I know people who gracefully grow older.

As they say aging isn’t so bad when you consider the alternative

I knew this girl in the 3rd grade and she had a head full of grey hair!

Just to remind you we were only 8yrs old so grey's comes in all ages!

Insight through experience & interaction.

I turn 30 in three weeks. I feel so young (spiritually/mentally) yet, officially I am on this planet for 30 years! Wow...

I don't mind aging or celebrating another birthday. As long as I progressed in the previous year. You know? As long as I have been able to check one or more of the goals I set for myself. And this year, I exceded my own expectations

Disadvantages :

- Hair is a definite problem - it goes grey, it falls out, it grows where it's really not needed

- Body slowing down (I feel like I should be able to run like I did when I was 20, but a few steps is enough to prove that I can't)

- Intolerance

- Turning into ones parents

- No Longer caring about turning into ones parents

- Involuntary groaning when standing up / bending over / moving




Advantages :

- Still being alive

- Caring less about other peoples attitudes towards oneself, and being comfortable in one's skin

- Tolerance

- Being more confident in just about everything

- Accepting that life is just a ride, and that it should be enjoyed as much as possible

Since 50% of my relatives go batty in old age I'm a little bit afraid.
