A closer look

Cartilaginous tissues in your nose and ears never actually stop growing, continuously expanding and drooping toward the floor from the moment you are born until the absolute end of your life. Unlike bone, which finishes its structural development and locks into place by your early twenties, cartilage is slowly but constantly subjected to the relentless pulling of gravity and a lifelong breakdown of collagen fibers. This means your facial proportions are locked in a perpetual state of slow-motion distortion, guaranteeing that your ears and nose will eventually dominate your elderly profile. It is incredibly rude of your own connective tissues to keep slowly expanding long after the rest of your body has peaked, ensuring your gradual physical decline is visually undeniable. You spend a fortune on serums trying to preserve your youth, completely helpless against the grim reality that gravity is currently stretching your earlobes into fleshy pendulums
