my legs have always been a good part of my physique, but one thing that's bothered me since I was 18 is vericose veins. Now that I'm 40, it's not getting any prettier. The inside of my right knee started getting big, blue, bulgy veins and now I see them starting up on the shin part of my right leg. It's genetic; my father had it way worse and my brother has them, too. Once, I slipped on the pool deck, and while I recovered myself enough not to fall, I knocked my knees and broke one of the vericose veins. The bruise that happened there was quite spectacular, I should've taken a picture as a momento.

I used to have a nice little bubble-butt, but I see the bubble's getting a bit deflated...

Regarding chronological age vs inside age, I feel about 10 years younger, too. 40 kind of snuck up on me, and I feel better than I ever have in my life. Even though the texture of my skin's changed, it's never looked better. I always had acne and now it's finally cleared up. My hair's gotten wavier and definitely more grey (and to my shock I even found grey *down there*). Since there isn't anything to stop aging, I guess we just have to learn to love it (I struggle with it sometimes).
