Sometimes when I look in the mirror, I see a child, then I look and see a woman who should be turning 60.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My first recognition of age setting in was exactly on my 36th birthday. I have no idea why, on this day of all days, I looked in the mirror and realized my face no longer looked young.
As I age, I become more and more happy with what I see in the mirror. At some point, that's going to stop.
When I see a woman who looks her age, she's radiating something, and it's life.
I feel old only when I look at my hands or at myself in the mirror.
I can honestly say I love getting older. Then again, I never put my glasses on before looking in the mirror.
I was born looking older - and I've been aging since I was a teenager.
One thing that's likely: How you look as you age is hereditary. Some of my family members, for example, look younger than their real age. And people have mistaken me for 30, even 25.
When I look in the mirror, I sometimes think I'm getting old, but then I have two generations behind me so that helps puts things into perspective. I am a grandmother now, but at least my nine-year-old grandson Jude calls me Glamma and not Granny.
I look young. I heard this said so often that it became irritating. I once worked as a babysitter for a woman who, the first time we met, said she didn't want somebody in high school. I was 22. Later, I realised that in certain places being female and looking 'young' meant it was more difficult to be taken seriously, so I turned to make-up.
I can't look in the mirror and look at fake things. I just can't. I'd rather age.
