My face is changing, and I love that my face is changing and aging, she says.
But people think I had afacelift.
Theyre like, What did she do to her face?
Im like, Bitch, Im just aging!
It doesnt mean I got bad plastic surgery.
This is just what happens.
You know what else happens?

But, of course, we cant.
We all age, the only constant is change and all that.
