I wasn’t really thinking about happiness per se. One guy really shocked me because he looks like he’s been sat outside drinking nothing but whiskey and smoking cigarettes since I last saw him. I think he had more wrinkles than both my parents. It was just shocking. He was still so babyfaced last time I saw him.
I try not to judge someone’s happiness level based on a short interaction when I haven’t seen them in a long time. Could be a bad day, or a rough patch not necessarily a bad life.
I was more thinking how the 30’s are an interesting time with people the same age looking wildly different just because of lifestyle choices.
Hell if I’m well rested, hydrated, and moisturized people guess I’m 25. One rough night and I show my age a bit more honestly.
