“Getting Older” reflects Kayla’s relationship with aging, particularly the transition from adolescence to adulthood. She engages with the duality of growth as both a source of joy and despair, while also addressing the pressures of capitalism and consumer culture that erode passion and authenticity.

Kayla depicts herself as an infant, child, and adult, and uses expression to signal the transformation from innocence to cynicism. Having her child self shift from a gleeful expression to a hardened one on her adult self, Kayla frames aging as a continual process of self discovery and loss that is marked by shifting identities and emotions.
