sandpaper.

I've never really been worried about getting old. Actually, to clarify, I've never really thought about getting old. I guess I figured it would happen slowly enough that I'd never notice it. Then one day I woke up and thought I found a gray hair. I freaked out. It turned out to be nothing- one of the girls' blond hairs stuck in the brush, but regardless, it felt like a slap in the face. Now I'm overly conscious of wrinkles, gray hair, aching joints, etc.- anything that would be a sign of aging. A few months ago I noticed my face was really tight if I didn't use moisturizer, and now, it's my hands. They're like sandpaper- no matter how much lotion I use.
