What will you look like in 20 years? To be honest, for me it is quite a creepy question. Shallow or not, just like many other women I also feel a little helpless about the aging image I find in the mirror. I am not young any more. Cynical lines managed to etch on my face; gray hairs started to appear; pores on my skin have already stood out. Although my even-featured gave me an edge and I might still not be hard on the eyes, passing time has already left its cruel marks on my face. In another twenty years, who knows? Would I wear my years with grace or would I completely be crippled by the terrible thing named Age? I usually would stop this line of thought, shut it down immediately.
Today I found this interest website: http://www.in20years.com/, it would tell you what you will look like in 20 years. Out of curiosity, I uploaded my picture and, honestly, the result was quite a shock: Wow, What a formidable old woman I will become!
I felt as if I’d received a blow to the chest, blindly I stared at the picture I was supposed to be 20 years later. Then I uploaded my husband’s picture. He looked, well, not bad, in fact not bad at all. He looked more harsh, and even more manly with grooves bracketing his month and lines of maturity at his eyes. Why years always set well on men? Probably that is because they never bothered by things like getting old. Subconsciously, I re-uploaded my picture, but this time I change the gender from Female to Male. Haha, I looked much better this time:
If I were a man, 20 years later I might be passed for a handsome old guy, which is nothing but my ego talking, but right now I need every bit of ego I could rustle up.
Then I took another look at my first image. Strangely it was not so harsh to look at this time. Is it so terrible to grow old? No! The answer erupted itself from my subconscious, reverberating through my entire body. We are normal people; we are supposed to get old. Asking for staying young forever is like asking for a miracle, stupid and ridiculous. Outside, we might be powerless to fight against the time, but inside, we can always find a way to keep our heart young and fearless. If we aged, we should age with grace.
So cute! But how could two Chinese give a birth to a foreign baby?
