that's really the wrong way to look at it. Everything is relative. There is no privileged reference frame or point of view. As the speed of light is a "maximum" speed, at that speed all dimensions including time compress.
To an outside observer, your "time" would appear to slow as you approach the speed of light. To you it would appear normal and the other person would appear to be moving faster and faster.
Both points of view are equally "correct" (or equally wrong)

According to Einstein everything is 'relative' to everything else. If you were travelling at the speed of light that would be relative to other objects you were passing but to you 'they' would be travelling at the speed of light. Time is another dimension and as speed increases relative time slows down, but, again, it is only relative to the other objects. You would age normally but in a slightly different dimension. When we fly to the moon the spacecraft records two times, that on Earth and that on the ship. When they return the ship time is always a few seconds slower. That is because we measure time based on the rotation of the earth which, once in space is irrelevant.

I guess because your body is still in regular speed

I guess because you would be moving so far.
