Thank you for sharing your thoughts on aging. The line about limiting beliefs really stuck with me and is something that we have talked a lot about amongst ourselves at SSC. It is nice to hear other women feel the same pressures or get into similar thought patterns.
Yeah. I am the same age as you and really bothered by my 11 lines. Every day I’m like I should just get Botox!!! My eternal struggle. I don’t color my greys either. I find myself missing feeling “attractive”. This is embarrassing to admit! I don’t exist for the male gaze! I *intellectually* know that aging is a gift but little things like this surprise me.
