Quote by Paulina Porizkova

My first recognition of age setting in was exactly on my 36th birthday. I have no idea why, on this day of all days, I looked in the mirror and realized my face no longer looked young.

My first recognition of age setting in was exactly on my 36t

Summary

In this quote, the speaker describes a moment of realization about the process of aging. On their 36th birthday, an ordinary day, they happened to glance into a mirror and suddenly saw something different in their own reflection. This unexpected self-perception prompted an understanding that their face was no longer indicative of youth. The quote suggests that this particular instance marked their initial awareness of the passage of time and the physical changes it brings.
