It is SO CONFUSING! I am 43 and my child is 20. With her glasses on she can unlock my phone. In my head my own mother is still 38 so I don't know what is even happening. Aging is a gift and all that blah blah but the patriarchy and misogyny run DEEP with how we are perceived.
All of this. The mirror is just rude. I’ve recently begun burlesque lessons and with the exception of one lady in her mid-40s, everyone else is literally half my age and we are all in various stages of undress and it has done a number on me. Their skin is so taut! And clear! And wrinkle free!
The thing you should have done was start making out with your "son"! That would have set things right... Gah I feel you girlfriend. So much.

It is SO confusing. I am still trying to figure out how to retrain my brain on aging.
WTF is it with the one long chin hair? And how does it appear fully formed from nowhere, like Athena from the head of Zeus?
Ha I know the reason for this - it starts out pale and blonde and then overnight turns dark! That is why it startles you so much.

I just told a 24 year old coworker to appreciate her neck. She laughed and I was like, "No. Really."
I feel this SO hard! But excited to enter my crone years
