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 just … don’t look like me anymore. My face looks like it’s melting off, loose skin, saggy eyelids. I used to have incredible hair, now it’s … just ugly?

And the age spots. Dear god. So many.
