At 35...

I am thinking of old age, such as being the age of 35 and beyond (that is not old yet, but still it's not the age were your consider young-young anymore; it's like this is it... this is life for the rest of your days), and this is what I was thinking. The only aspect of me wanting to retain my male aspect isn't because I want to be male, but it's because I want to remain young looking (an illusion in my mind; that I can remain young looking past 30 on spiro). That will not happen, or else I'll end up looking like a modern day Paul McCarthy were my facial features are youthful but my skin shows all.

But then age we'll crept up on me, and when I am 35, I will want to be intelligently educated and somewhat financial wealthy. I do not need all the glam and riches of a celebrity, but a lover who loves me more than himself. Someone competent with myself. Then an image of sophisticated woman comes to mind, like smoking on a long cigar-object, sunglasses, hair up, black mini dress, looking outside her window seeing acres of lands.

But I do not want this wealth through sugar daddies or luck, but through my works. I want to impact this world somehow, not in a fame-type way, but in a way that will change people's mental's abilities.

It's something unusual for me to think about this, but I see education in my future (I was doubting on going on college that's why I spoke of such). I guess, I'll have to think some more on this, but I am going to go heavy on spiro again.

I'll think about this tomorrow.

I definitely think you want to emphasize becoming intelligent but like femaleness a person either has it or hasn't and no amount of book larnin' will provide it.

That's not the direction of my thread.... I wasn't questioning if I was a female or not.

You desire to be a woman is due to superficial things, like retaining youth and having a lover who tends to you because you look like a sophisticated Hollywood star, though it's good you want to make a positive change to the world.

Youth is fleeting and trying to mantain it is foolish. I plan to wear my wrinkles with pride, like her (well, excuse me if she's fictional), not conceal them. They are a sign I've been in this world for some time, no?
Read Osamu Tezuka's "Phoenix" series. It's about immortality and the meaning of life. He was probably the world's best comic writer ever and it's a pity he's not well known in the English world. The stories in the Phoenix cycle are many and have many layers, but one of the main themes is to enjoy life as it flows, not get caught in a foolish desire to escape aging and death.
Besides...
I get the impression you wanted to be treated with respect as a person based on how you look and not on who you are. This path will lead you to never really knowing yourself nor others, to judge other people basing yourself on how they look and use them as tools for your gains and to live life superficially, as if you were walking on an empty potato chip box and you heard that squishing sound every step, while all the chips are gone (...I crack weird metaphors). Also think of children born with progeria, which is an illness that fastens aging dramatically. They look strange, sort of like old children. Most of them live 'till 13, but there's such an intensity in their stories and eyes when they talk...I haven't seen many people with it in my life. How does your life compare to theirs?

Have you considered you might have this megan?

You can't plan on how you will look in the future I myself appear to be aging quicker than most of my peers you never know it might be that you get stuck in the same boat as me Your 18 right? that's where it begins ;)... I've been getting gray hair since I was 19 and I've got squinty wrinkles around my eyes from not seeing the opticians for years, with the dark puffy rings from not begin able to sleep right at uni and look at my avatar in the past 2 years these {(Parenthesis)} have appeared around my mouth. I've lived healthily aswell no drinking, no smoking, taken care of my skin, And I was a vegetarian for 4 years.

I prolly won't look great by 35 :P But ultimately I can't plan for that tho however I can plan for who I want to become in the future And if I want to be female I have to experience gender transition, And if I want to be a scientist I have to experience the biology degree, and if I want to love someone I have to love the person not the pretty face. And when you do thing like that megan you will notice that you've become older too ;) and in a good way.

I am not afraid of aging, but looking bad and unhealthy.

I see old age as that^

peaceful, quiet, rich, and retired... and spending the last days doing something for my family I guess..
