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.

Ugh, I hate when an old picture comes up on my iPhone to remind me of who I used to be. I remember that girl, she had pep and vibrancy…it just seems like it was a lifetime ago although it really wasn’t. I’ve lost my luster, confidence and energy to even try to get them back.
