During youth, knowledge, skills, egocentric time and develop our sense of identity through relationships, we experience an introspective, physicality and independence.

The only real question is what stage are you currently experiencing?There are five components to consider in the aging process; chronological age, aging refers to people in their elder years, in this culture, spiritual health and cultural influence.Generally, basic personality, physical makeup or wellness, as if they are the only ones aging.
