For me I think it's gotta be eye crinkles. Nature's eyeliner.

That and having enough self knowledge to make decisions that actually benefit me.

Waning testosterone has some advantages: no more acne, cooler emotions, fewer irrational thoughts. I once heard someone say that young men go through years of testosterone poisoning, and I get it now.

I finally started lifting seriously. I highly recommend it. I look better, feel better, and a lot of little aches and pains that were starting to creep up on me have gone away.

A few gray hairs in the beard looks really sharp.

You're obviously not old enough for this conversation!

That I care less and less what people think, so I make decisions that will make me happier.. and it's fun to show it off sometimes 🤷‍♀️

Saw myself in a reflection the other day and immediately thought “Whoa, I’m dressed like a Rainbow Bright doll… Good! I’m doing what I want.”

[–] Troubleinmind@lemmy.wtf 5 points 1 month ago

Hell yeah! That's the best feeling.

I am right on the edge of wild, eccentric, bushy eyebrows and I can't wait.

As someone who fixates on random weird or mismatched hairs, I love that for you but can't identify. I'm getting hairier on my neck and back and ears and it makes me crazy.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 month ago

That's my secret, Cap: I'm always crazy!

My mobility has actually improved a ton since my youth!! Got injured as a kid and laid in bed all the time afterwards. Kinda glad I have too many responsibilities nowadays to give into that temptation, that was the worst thing I could have done.

I guess being short. Even as a woman of my heritage, I tend to be shorter than people might expect, but these days I can't help but associate being tall with more issues.

Yeah, as a tall person I'm not a fan. Getting stuff off of high shelves without asking for help, or finding something to stand on is nice, but that's about it.

it's really cool having the correct hormones nowadays. funny how you don't like your body much if you don't

i'm really happy about looking my age / looking like an adult nowadays. and i've been going to the gym, so it's been pretty cool putting on muscle and getting stronger and stuff

i guess it's not AGING aging, but it's stuff i def appreciate (i'm in my early thirties for context)

I am starting to get a few grey hairs here and there, and I think it's gonna look awesome.

I still like my eyes. Blue with a hint of yellow/brown around the center (hazel). It’s almost like an eclipse. It’s the part of my body that gets the second-most amount of compliments.

Maybe it'll hit me when I'm older, but seemingly I can go for long durations without food and water just because I keep forgetting to eat/cook

ok if you include experience and knowledge then sure thats great but my body I would trade in for 25 year old me in a heartbeat.
