For me I think it’s gotta be eye crinkles. Nature’s eyeliner.

That and having enough self knowledge to make decisions that actually benefit me.

    Waning testosterone has some advantages: no more acne, cooler emotions, fewer irrational thoughts. I once heard someone say that young men go through years of testosterone poisoning, and I get it now.

    I finally started lifting seriously. I highly recommend it. I look better, feel better, and a lot of little aches and pains that were starting to creep up on me have gone away.

    A few gray hairs in the beard looks really sharp.

    Maybe it’ll hit me when I’m older, but seemingly I can go for long durations without food and water just because I keep forgetting to eat/cook

      As someone who fixates on random weird or mismatched hairs, I love that for you but can’t identify. I’m getting hairier on my neck and back and ears and it makes me crazy.

    That I care less and less what people think, so I make decisions that will make me happier… and it’s fun to show it off sometimes 🤷‍♀️

      Saw myself in a reflection the other day and immediately thought “Whoa, I’m dressed like a Rainbow Bright doll… Good! I’m doing what I want.”

    My mobility has actually improved a ton since my youth!! Got injured as a kid and laid in bed all the time afterwards. Kinda glad I have too many responsibilities nowadays to give into that temptation, that was the worst thing I could have done.

    it’s really cool having the correct hormones nowadays. funny how you don’t like your body much if you don’t

    i’m really happy about looking my age / looking like an adult nowadays. and i’ve been going to the gym, so it’s been pretty cool putting on muscle and getting stronger and stuff

    i guess it’s not AGING aging, but it’s stuff i def appreciate (i’m in my early thirties for context)

    I still like my eyes. Blue with a hint of yellow/brown around the center (hazel). It’s almost like an eclipse. It’s the part of my body that gets the second-most amount of compliments.

    I guess being short. Even as a woman of my heritage, I tend to be shorter than people might expect, but these days I can’t help but associate being tall with more issues.

      Yeah, as a tall person I’m not a fan. Getting stuff off of high shelves without asking for help, or finding something to stand on is nice, but that’s about it.
