At 24? Seriously? My first child is older than you.
You're looking at it all wrong. Look forward to growth, not aging. Wrinkles are like scars. They're badges to be worn with pride that tell the world you're no longer a fledgling. You've lived, survived and continue to grow and learn about the world around you.
Personally, I've found that each year as my birthday approaches, I contemplate my life and the journey I've taken to that point. Some years are quite good, some not so good. But that's what challenges and allows me the opportunity to work towards enriching my life, hopefully utilizing the wisdom I've attained thus far.
Bottom line? Keep growing, keep learning.
