We may have grown, but did we merely graduate from beauty envy to postcode envy?
Does the age-old advice of "be happy with what you have, who you are" still fly?
Maybe. Why are you chasing that promotion? Using that cream? Why am I chasing that business and using that cream?
We change and we evolve. We stagnate if we do not learn and adapt. Is it that bad to change?

"You just want to change me!" This is often expressed like it's a bad thing.
Only if you're changing for the worse, I suppose. At this day and age (our own age, I mean), we should have figured out what are good changes and what are bad changes. Like drugs. Don't do drugs, people. Don't gamble. Don't cheat. And for the love of God don't be rude.
We are no longer children who cannot discern between desirable and undesirable, harmful and beneficial. Only children resist change when it is obviously for the better. Newsflash: changes that take you closer to your goals are good. Like exercising and healthy diets. Losing bad habits and getting good ones. Likewise company.
Women, we think we can forever be girls. Our hips will widen, our boobs will sag. If we're blessed, children will pop.
Men think they will forever be handsome stallions. Your skin will droop, the muscled definition (unless ruthlessly maintained) will diminish and you will develop some blubber. You probably can last longer, but you could also develop ED. If you're blessed, you get to keep your hair.
Change comes. Roll with it.
To kick and scream and then not change - please. Grow up. The same lessons will keep coming. It's just the faces that change, along with the scenery. But the lesson - that terrible lesson - will keep coming, and coming, and coming -
Thus. Grow up and live like you are meant to*.
