According to Chinese culture, we're a year older due to being in the womb for a nearly a year so she'd actually say 'I'm a year younger" which makes no sense to me but then again, (my) mom was usually correct on most things. Regarding my mom (bless her soul), my 18 year old niece wore a traditional Chinese dress (cheongsam) that belonged to my mom for her high school graduation this past weekend. It makes me think that even as the people we love aren't here, they can be remembered in so many different ways and in that way, ageless.
JH, it happens to the best of us. (And then it happens to the rest of us.) Your eyes look smaller because the architecture of your face is changing due to...sagging, bone loss, your brow dropping, among other things—though I think that just about covers it. There are various solutions, which I suggested in these previous posts: https://valeriemonroe.substack.com/p/droopy-lids-or-bedroom-eyes
Fix yourself in the mirror in the morning then avoid it at all costs and look out of those 12 years younger eyes all day. (although I feel at least 15 years younger!..maybe 20!)

What a lovely comment, Elena, and I so agree with you! xo
My eyes appear smaller than they used to (I'm 65). What gives and what can I do?
