Why do people seem to age in fits and starts?

You'd think they'd just change at the same rate over time, unless they had some sort of serious physical illness. But so often I notice someone I work with suddenly looks much, much older than before--like they aged five years almost over night. (I'm sure I must at times look this way myself.)

Growth is much the same way, it's not always linear. 🤷‍♀️
