Lies To Yourself

I am really struggling right now with my mortality.  I don't know that there is one trigger, but seems like multiple triggers.   The crease between my eyebrows is deepening.  The crows feet have turned into the Mariana trench.  I noticed last night when stretching that the skin above my knees is sagging.  Let's not talk about my floopy boobs.
