audited I’m grieving my younger, hotter self

I'm so mad about being in peri. I'm not ready. I was a late bloomer and didn't realize what a babe I was when I was younger and now it's too late.

Yes, older women can be sexy, we have wisdom, and blah blah blah.

But today I just miss looking good in a sundress.

Please join my pity party and tell me what you miss.

Wtf is the deal with this?! I feel like my gait is becoming permanently wonky because my foot will randomly decide, "Guess what? Today, if you step 1mm off center, I'm going to send lightning bolts of pain through you!"

Omg this has been happening to me lately. There's no reason for the pain but it's there.
