My hairline is boned but I embraced it, shaved my head daily and gained 40 pounds of muscle. It could be worse.

This is still so impressive.

drugs started feeling like it's decaf
i think he just did a lot of drugs, man. maybe not a lot, but the drugs he did had a physical toll on him.
I've gone through phases. At the age of 30, I was in better shape than at 20. Now at 36, I'm pre-hypertensive and haven't been looking after myself much in the past couple of years. Ever since my dog of 15yrs died in 2015, my health and state of mind have gone downhill. And then I just lost one of my cats in April.
I'm going to turn it around though. I still look younger than my age at least.

I can't wait to see what I look like in 10 years:
15:
25:
The only think I wish for is to be able to grow facial hair on my cheeks a bit more.

Nope. I looked so much better and youthful when I was 16. I shudder to think what I'll look like when I hit 30. I wear thick layers of suncreen every day, even during winter and I plan to hop on Retin-A soon. Aging is a fucking disease that needs to be eradicated.
I'm brown too and brown men tend to age the worst from what I've seen.

I think it could have been much worse, so I'll say I aged just fine.

I lost the blonde in my hair, my eyes turned green (or "grey"), hairline could be better, beardgame is whack.
My teenager years were rough. Pale, chubby, buzzcut. All I was doing was play videogames and eat like shit.
I've made some gains in the last two years so I'm happy now.

Bucky! You're alive!
I've always looked younger than peers the same age as me, and i feel i still do.
i turned 32 today, so while i can't offer any kind of huge "success story", i guess i aged fine. I'm in the best shape of my life, my hair's full and none of it grey, i still can't grow a proper beard (and i've come to terms with the fact that i'll likely never will...), the only wrinkles i get are the ones you get from smiling a lot, so those are charming.
I guess, especially ever since turning ... 18, i didn't age "well", or "badly" ... i don't feel like i aged all that much to begin with. So that's good, i suppose.

So far, I've gotten fatter, but generally have aged well. My skin is doing great, and a lot of people are surprised I'm turning 29. If I go to buy alcohol alone I tend to get carded 
I don't have to update my Facebook pics because I look the same from high school/early college, win/win ;D

[also, we've aged similarly, still look as young as you do at 34... except i can tell my hair is starting to go now :/ ]

I have to ask because I'm super curious to know, is that a skydiving suit I see you wearing? Looks like one.

Within 20 years I've gone from 145lbs and a 45 bpm resting heartrate to 240lbs and a 90. I walked 5 miles a day between classes, then got a desk job and started playing MMOs. Now I'm nothing but excuses and can't lose more than 30 lbs without rebounding. Went from being effectively 5 years younger than my age to 10 older, which is about the definition of aging poorly.

Sadly no. It's a neoprene wetsuit for when I visited the Great Barrier Reef.

People have always thought I was 4-6 years younger than my true age. I was carded for wedding crashers when I was 31. Thirty one for a rated R movie lol

I'm a brown dude and having lost weight over the last few years, I'd say I have aged pretty well. One thing to note is that taking care of your skin (moisturizing) goes a long way in mitigating the deepening the age lines.
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully, things will look up sooner than later. Trust me when I say, I have seen one of the worst cases of people looking far older than they are:
There was once a (white) fisherman in of my safety courses (gearing up to be in the merchant/commercial shipping world). The guy was used to being out in the sun for hours on end per day in the course of his work. And it showed. Our instructor thought that the guy was joking when he said his age was (iirc) ~47 years. The instructor said, "B'y (a newfoundland slang for a guy), you look like you're over 70". The guy produced his driving license for the instructor to see and the rest of us were a tad embarrassed for the guy and also astounded that he looked as old as he did.
Lesson to be learned is that NEVER EVER work continually exposed to direct sun without some form of protection, especially if your skin is melanin deficient (and even brown and black folks don't do much better under similar circumstances without some form of skin protection).

I don't think I look super young for my age (32), but I am okay with how I've aged. My face thinned out as I got older and I got way better at doing my hair.
