This post is all about short funny quotes about aging.
I have a few wrinkles now that I’m 30 🙂 And while I haven’t tried Botox (yet?) I do think about it, and aging in general, very often. Maybe that’s society’s fault (it’s always easy to blame things on society, lol) or maybe I’m just having a weird time coming to terms with the fact that I’m no longer a little kid… even though I still totally feel like one.
However, I’ve been trying to think of things a little differently as of late. Instead of being frustrated that I’m getting older, I’m simply just grateful.
The older I get, the more I truly realize just how precious life is, and that not everyone gets to age. Not everyone gets to be 30 and have wrinkles. But I do. And that’s something to be thankful for, not something to be ashamed of.
But enough of the seriousness around aging 😉 The point of this post is that while aging can be talked about in a serious manner, that’s NO fun. You know what is fun? Joking around about aging because honestly, everyone goes through it at the end of the day. And laughing about aging is better than crying about it hahaha.
Here are the more hilarious quotes about aging and getting older!
