I think genetics play a role as well. I have always appeared to be much younger than my age and when I am with people in my age group they are all old compared to me. Even when I was young I was slower in development that my peers. I remember when I graduated high school I was 18 years old and 5'8" tall. I got to be 6'0" when I was 21. Where most people had stopped growing taller well before they were 18. I think my genetics in aging somehow are at a slower pace than other peoples
I have generally looked about ten years younger than I am. Weird, I grew after I graduated as well. I grew like a full two inches, but I'm an inch or so shy of 6'.
I'm mostly native american, so we age slowly - kinda like Asian people. Unless we're outside all the time, in which case we're pretty much made of leather by the age of 50.
My grandfather on my mothers side was a native, but he was the youngest of all of my grandparents to pass away, the rest all made it to 95+
Oh, fuck no.
I will NOT be living to 95+.
Unless the quality of life is there, that ain't gonna happen.
Given how I've treated my body, the quality of life ain't gonna be there.
