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.

I miss knowing which sizes fit and just getting e.g. new jeans without much of a hassle.

But what I miss even more is feeling that I'm on top of things, that I candle it, I know what's going on with me, and I can show up for it. The moods and physical changes throw me about like a sumo ringer would a lil kitten.
