Wrinkles are mileage on a car that went places. Nobody brags about a car that sat in the garage.

Ageing is evidence of use, and use is rather the point of being alive. A face that has been through weather, laughter and worry is carrying the record of all of it. The alternative to that record is not staying new, it is having done less.

When you catch yourself auditing what time has done, try reading it as a history rather than a fault. Then go add to the mileage this week with something that leaves a mark worth having. The record is still being written.
