A Wrinkle in Time

<p><em>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s paradoxical that the idea of living a long life appeals to everyone, but the idea of getting old doesn&rsquo;t appeal to anyone.&rdquo;</em></p> <p><em>&mdash; Andy Rooney</em></p> <p>The beautiful people.</p> <p>We were young and vibrant in our teens. Some were more vibrant than others. There were the good-looking ones who adorned the pages of yearbooks and turned heads as they walked down the hallways.</p> <p>There is a power in aesthetic beauty. Girls and boys alike are a bit dumber when they are around someone attractive. Boys, in particular, can be ridiculous as we followed around the girl we were infatuated with, compromising our time to help them with their homework.</p> <p>It is a clumsy dance being a teen.</p> <p>But time passes.</p> <p>Beauty fades.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:770/0*u3821M2Cq4bGHa9X" style="height:577px; width:700px" /></p> <p>Photo by&nbsp;<a href="https://unsplash.com/@dendydarma?utm_source=medium&amp;utm_medium=referral" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Dendy Darma Satyazi</a>&nbsp;on&nbsp;<a href="https://unsplash.com/?utm_source=medium&amp;utm_medium=referral" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Unsplash</a></p> <h2>Tucks and Dyes</h2> <p>I find few things more sad than watching people struggle against the aging process.</p> <p>I&rsquo;m not talking about complaining that it is a little harder to get out of bed or that our bodies are a bit stiffer following a day of activity. Getting old is a reality, and there are shared experiences.</p> <p>But some people refuse to accept that their body is aging. At the onset of the first gray hair, dye appears. At the appearance of the first crow&rsquo;s feet, some seek surgery to smooth the skin.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/crows-feet/a-wrinkle-in-time-76c8873aed27"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
