Other than the natural aging process, what do you think has added years onto your life? might I ask why u r curious about this topic? It was something that was just in my head. I think after i saw some people my age that lived a harder life, look so beat up. ya, I think sometimes it is stress, or their coping mechanisms for dealing with it - some better than others I also think, physically, people don't always take good care of themselves, and in my opinion it's just as important as taking care of oneself emotionally especially when trying to maintain a healthy appearance

Working for over half of my life (I'm really not that old to have been working for almost 15 years already) I started working at 12 - it was just a few hours a week during school, but in the summers I worked pretty regular - then when I went to college got a couple school years off (played sports) but still worked the summers, and then my last 4 years of college I worked - all year - around my classes and practices/games so anyway - yeah. For me though I don't really see it as a bad thing because I did get some breaks in there and I got my education too

The sun, as I have work most of my life outdoors. My ex's, stress and the pain of loss. But I am alive and thats what counts, have more to live and look forward too. Finding the one to share the rest of my life with will slow down the aging process. GR

Spices, a lot of fun spices. That is what has aged me gracefully. Plus a lot of great friendships.

Loneliness, last year's court battle and cherries. Disgusting little red things.

I don't think that the things that have happened in my life have aged me, but I do believe that they have matured me. I don't want to go into details, but everything that has happened to me in life, good or bad has shaped me into the person I am today. I am a happy, well rounded adult who has lived the good and bad parts of life. Aged or not, I am who I am, and that's something that I love!

Hmmmm...experiences....both joyful and traumatic....both high opposite ends of the emotional scales. The SUN!!!!...I live by the beach...and have done for the bulk of my life....and thanks to you lot....have a giant hole in the ozone over my house.. Children, lovers, life has aged me....in wonderful wisewoman ways... I wouldn't swap a minute and am loving The Hag section of this life journey.

I'm like a fine wine. Aging makes me better.
