Nah.

Pri­va­cy is­sue aside (we’ve giv­en them every­thing they want on us al­ready), there’s some­thing else at play here. 

See­ing your­self de­crepit has a psy­cho­log­i­cal ef­fect, bet you felt it stick. 

Ag­ing is not a per­son­al fail­ure, but know­ing what I know about health, I also don’t sub­scribe to the idea that get­ting old means in­evitable frailty, pain, and de­te­ri­o­ra­tion, which is what I saw ex­ag­ger­at­ed in all those pics. 

Just for fun? 

On the same day I see mass use of the ‘old’ fil­ter, I also see head­lines about the phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal industry’s crim­i­nal over­reach, in­ten­tion­al­ly over­selling opi­oid pain med­ica­tion across Amer­i­ca, fu­el­ing an epi­dem­ic of ad­dic­tion and deaths. 

Why are peo­ple in so much pain? And what do they do about it? 

Alls I’m say­ing is, watch what you’re be­ing fed – mind and body. 

Re­mem­ber that epi­ge­net­ics – the ef­fect of out­side forces on your DNA – may be more pow­er­ful than your gene ‘des­tiny.’ 💫

I wish you op­ti­mal health and longevity. 💫
