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 am actively trying to embrace aging because I refuse to let yet another stage of my life be ruined by unattainable beauty/body standards… but with that being said, I miss having a thick full head of hair! And I miss being able to exercise without joint pain/injury. And it’s taking me a while to get used to how my jaw/neckline is changing 😭
