Age and Appearance
Feb. 22nd, 2021 11:46 amWhen I see pictures of people around my age it always feels like they look like such an adult. I wonder if that’s because when I look at myself in the mirror I can still pass for an extremely tired high school student so my frame of reference is kinda off.

At the risk of being that person, I do genuinely believe media has done a real number on people's perceptions of how old people 'should' look.
