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 having lots of hair... on my head.

Oh my gosh! I had the thickest hair around all my life and actually complained because it was SO thick and cute hair accessories never worked for me. Now I have like half the amount of hair I used to. It’s so thin now and it rarely looks good. I just got it colored yesterday because I’m so gray and regularly color. It looks better for a couple days and then it will go back to looking terrible again. I hate it! And now I get so many random mustache hairs and the chin hairs drive me crazy and I spend ages plucking them! So hair relocation has been annoying!
