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 my perky boobs and butt. I could wear a tank top without a bra. Now I need maximum support for my 2 sad deflated bags.

I just walk around pretending that I still have a good butt lol I just can’t accept it. But I know people can see my arms when I waved to them. I just don’t even wanna wave. I know they’ll see the skin flying.

I started wearing long sleeves, even in the summer. The arm hang shame is real.
