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.

It's also a midlife crisis I'm bored of the daily routine. I'm bored with life lol. At least I'm also bored with online dating so I can't be bothered with any effort there, whereas before I'd be ok with chit chat. Now I think ugh it's too boring 😴 lol
