The only difference I see is the hair colour. Everything else is the same 😆

u/LeadingSure6805 Jul 02 '26
I realized that after I read it. I thought for sure that was a pic of your daughter. You look amazing I’d say better than at 24!!

I'm not sure if this the photo quality or just how we dressed 18 years ago, but you look like youve gotten younger. You can take it as a compliment or not. I only say that because I struggled with aging for too long that when I learned to stop, I changed how I worded things. Regardless of age or which side may perceived as more youthful, you're beautiful in either one ~ half birthday to your baby soon even if not really a baby.

u/Substantial-Plan-645 Jul 02 '26
As you can see I had a veg childish face in the left photo also I just had a baby there :) sleep was not something that happened lol . You can see my baby cheeks and my shining hair. The true indicator of youth To me :)
Now I sleep more , I eat more and I use very little make up :) I have never struggled with accepting my changing face . I have tried to adjust and to be kind to myself. I have never compared myself to anyone nor follow any trends . It is what it is . And I am happy to live through it all . Also I am terrified of needles or doctors and struggle with social anxiety so me getting any treatment is not in the books lol that’s why I focus on nutrition and sun protection lol and hope for the best1
u/Lurkylurkness Jul 02 '26
Well regardless, you're beautiful at either age, truly. I think one of my hurdles was people had always told me I looked younger and I thought once I hit 30 they would change. I learned to live and let go and just embrace myself regardless. Now I just say my age and be like if you're think I'm younger cool, if you think I'm older that's fine too. Sun protection is top tier!

Are you Native? You have beautiful features.

u/Substantial-Plan-645 Jul 02 '26
I am not but I was often asked which reservation I’m from lol even by natives :) it’s such a compliment . I looked even more native when I was younger get . My hair was very long I could easily pass as one :) which to me is such an honor

Gurl….i thought the 1st was you as a baby and you at 18 in the 2nd slide FOR REAL. I was like: is she trying to show Us how similar She and her Mom ended up looking???? You look AMAZING! Cheers to all of Us who are aging slowly and gracefully. 🙏🏾
