getting older



Well, I turn 31 today. I was looking for some quotes that might make me feel better about getting older. I thought this one was cute

I'm a person who gets better with practice. Getting older is awesome - because you get more practice. -Zooey Deschanel

This one made sense

If you're always battling against getting older, you're always going to be unhappy, because it's going to happen anyhow.
-Mitch Albom  

But then I read this one...

If you're not getting older, you're dead.
-Tom Petty  

 Thank you, Tom Petty. You made getting older seem like the best case scenario. Well done, sir. Well done.

    Happy Birthday! The thing about getting older is that it is inevitable but you will never be as young as you are right this second ever again so savor every moment <3

    I like this quote from the queen of aging gorgeously, Helen Mirren:
    “When you’re 16, you think 28 is so old! And then you get to 28 and it’s fabulous. You think, then, what about 42? Ugh! And then 42 is great."

    Have a fantastic birthday!!

      Thanks! I guess I really should be glad I've made it this far. I'm kind of clumsy ;)
