Wrinkles and Beer Belly

I woke up in a wee hour of the morning, I guess I was hungry. But before that , I went to the bathroom, took a pee and look at myself in the mirror. Checked my face, yes, there they are,  my ugly wrinkles and they are getting bigger by the day. The ones on my forehead now looks like the San Andreas fault line , I'm increasingly becoming anxious about these things, and my beer belly as well. Not so long ago, I was looking like a debonaire, back in the days, girls would go crazy about me. Those times are long gone, now I have to put up with the dilemma of getting old.  My hair is shredding like crazy, I would always worry about the amount of hair I see on my pillow and in the shower. Yes, I got the hair loss problem too. I got tired of it. I then decided to shave it all off..  No rituals, no crying like others do before they do it. It didn't took much of courage to do it. I just woke up one day, and said to myself in front of the mirror. I had it with this! I got to do something. I took the clipper and just shaved away. In an instant Now,  I look like Lex Luthor. I remember sobbing like a bitch and curled like a ball after I saw myself in the mirror.
But I stood up, I faced the mirror, I said to myself, I am who I am.  I can live with this. But it didn't work.
I still have to wear my hat every time I go out. I know,  it's so pathetic.

 But as days move on, I'm kind of coping with it in a positive tune  and I'm kind of getting used to it, I think. However, I'm keeping an eye on news of cutting edge treatments, that I heard they are getting close to solving the puzzle of men's  hair loss problems. Nevertheless I'm still aging. I hope I can reconcile myself on accepting the fact that we do get old, and say bye bye to your young looking self. And say hello to Mr. Clean look alike.

Now, back to my beer belly. I stopped drinking beer. Doing some situps and some pushups. At least I can do something about it. I hope I can carry on doing it for at least a year. I wonder what my abs would look like after a year. hmmm., something to look forward to.  I should have done this 5 years ago. But it's never too late. I'm so doing this everyday.
As with my wrinkles. Wrinkles they say are signs of wisdom. That makes me so wise then.  You see,   they really appear like the Nazca Line of Peru when I scrunch my face especially in the eyes area. I'm increasingly worried about it. But,  I'm not the type that would go and get some latest anti wrinkle free creams and skin whiteners etc. That would be so strange.

Myriad of things I realized in going through all of this. Annoyingly, they come at the same time in these stage of  my life, which is so life changing. .
Another curve ball that life throws at you. Like everybody else, You just have to cope with it and carry on living your life. I'm not bitter about it. I guess, I'm just not built to deal with this kind of ****. Like a self respecting person would do. Just go with it.
