I’m feeling this lately too, and I’m feeling the duality of it - I want to embrace my aging self while at the same time I’m feeling depressed by it. It’s a struggle.

Totally a struggle. But I don't know how much of that is societal pressure/expectations or truly feeling like I'm 30 when I'm a couple of decades past that. I don't look like the person I feel I am. It's not horrible, just not accurate. And it's a reminder of the time that's passed and a question of how much is left. Not fully depressing, but a different clock ticking that brings up other questions/issues...so it's so much more that just a quick fix or vanity. It's a conundrum. xo

That’s a great way to put it - I don’t feel like I match what I see in the mirror either. It’s crazy.
I am absolutely relating to this - am going through the same struggles!
