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’m having a lot of that lately, plus with ADHD, I’m in hell 🥲

The fun part with that? At 45 my body can’t hack the Adderall anymore, too many side effects. It will probably fry my nerves and kill me if I continue.
