How do you accept change as you age?

I am bothered by the fact that my children and new friends have no idea what I was like 20 years ago, and feel I'm not representing myself in the best way. Does that seem shallow?

@cldmeyers- I couldn't wait to respond to your question. All I can say is what? What? What do they mean by this? What does representing yourself mean? Do they think that you are a fake?

One of the things about aging that has been difficult to accept is the fact that, one by one, all the people who knew the younger me are dying off. It feels very lonely, as if no one remembers me. No one shares my memories. I'm curious about what you mean by "representing myself".
