They’re beyond anyone’s reach! I have frown lines on my forehead and smile lines forming around my mouth. Ageing is a sign of having lived, growing old gracefully is letting inside beauty shine through. Looks are fleeting!

I know what you mean too, we were already cut off and locked into the online bubble and it was awful. The best parts of my childhood were outside playing in trees, in the dirt, sneaking out to get drunk in a park at 16. Are the kids even doing that anymore? And don’t even get me started on the iPad babies, it makes me really upset to see 4 year old like zombies on devices.

Even intelligent people are using ipads as baby sitters of very young kids. I was shocked at one of my friends, an older mother and scientist, when she admitted that she's so burned out by the end of the day she hands her three-year-old an ipad.
