Why do some people age so quickly?
I was going through photos I took at my college reunion this summer and was shocked at how poorly a number of my friends and acquaintances had aged..
The oddest phenomenon that I noticed was that someone would be standing behind me and I would hear their voice and know instantly who they were. Their voice would not have changed in 20-odd years. But then I would turn around and some I would barely recognize because of the weight they had put on or how grey they were.
Yes, we worked very hard, and partied just as hard but my God.. I wonder if this is typical. Other than broader shoulders and a tiny bit of grey, I look much the same as I did in college.
Very sad really.
