"Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many." ~Unknown
I noticed them for the first time last night. There, looking back at me in the mirror. Women fight them with creams and machines and botox. Yep, wrinkles. And at first, I thought, "Well, crap." But then, I got to thinking.....Those wrinkes are a product of 28 1/2 years of laughter. Of smiles and snorts and tears. A tiny physical reminder of the best times of my life. A small price to pay for the amazing experiences I have been so fortunate to have. I'm a lucky girl. Wrinkles and all.
Here's to the next 28 years full of wrinkle-making experiences. Bring 'em on!

True.
Wrinkles are a result of happy moments, laughter, good experiances, late nights with friends
They are also a battle scar for surviving loss, late nights studying or working, breakups, pain, etc.
SO they are representative of who we are!! That being said, I am looking for a good eye cream and plan on getting botox :) Just because I earned my wrinkles doesn't mean I want them showing haha!
I agree, Tiff! Let the wrinkles show. Rather than spending money on overpriced creams and scary injections (which, let's face it, are more obvious than the wrinkles), I plan to spend it on showing my wrinkles a good time. There's a lot of world to see and it doesn't care if I have crow's feet.

They make you more beautiful.
I like to think that I've earned every wrinkle, scar and line on my body. They tell a story!
Oh so true. I noticed mine are getting a tad, well, more noticeable lately. Now I'm ok with that.
Truer words have never been spoken! Besides, laugh lines are beautiful on everyone!
Wrinkles are some of the most beautiful memories. Embrace them! :)
Also - you know the Norvells!?! I've known them since I was born!
