“Twentysomethings Seeking Eternal Youth”
Excuse me while I direct the Choir of the Middle-Aged in our choral response to all the young people out there spending their hard-earned dollars on anti-aging creams and potions (takes the podium and raises his baton):
“Har de har har!!”
Mair Underwood, an Australian researcher who’s examined attitudes about aging among boomers…applauds people who want to take better care of themselves, [however] she worries that an obsession with fending off age will cause young people, in particular, to struggle with the inevitable changes in their bodies later in life.
Speaking from experience I can offer an alternative strategy to the young hipsters out there who are concerned about how their faces and bodies are going to look as they age:
Get used to it. Those who died young would probably gladly exchange places with you.
