Are you at that stage, where all your friends look "so" old?

Asked by Shippy (10015points) November 29th, 2012

A few weeks ago I bumped into some old friends from the past. Wow! they look decrepit. One was an old boyfriend who was a dancer. He was so good looking and fit. We used to call him the “Peter Pan” of (where I live).

Another guy, I used to go clubbing with, well he just looks fat old and dowdy. He was really gorgeous 20 years ago.

But then I guess we do not see ourselves clearly? Perhaps I do too. I wonder why we can’t see ourselves so clearly. Is it like that painting that hangs skew on the wall? We just don’t see it anymore.

I was looking at old photos of myself, well, not that old a few years ago. I looked so healthy, vibrant, full of life. I hope that somehow I capture some of that back. How are your old friends from the past looking? Do you look at past photos of yourself and wish you were back there?
