My birthday is coming up and I’m already getting in my feels about it, but I’m so determined to break the pattern of being sad on my birthday. I don’t even know if I understand where that sad feeling comes from. It‘s not like I don’t want to get old-I love talking to older people and can’t wait to be a wise elderly person. I’m not even scared of death which would definitely narrow it down. Who knows!
Anyways… I’m working on shifting my perspective and feeling more gratitude for being one more year older! Life is hard but it’s also a gift and I’m glad I get to experience it

I’m very excited about it and it just feels right. I think women start reaching their peak hotness at age 40 and then continue to age like fine wine so I’m looking forward to that too. My plan is to start seriously attempting to grow up in some ways but we’ll see how that goes; I’m probably just going to extend my adolescence in other ways because I have the freedom to do that. Mostly I just keep thinking about how when I was a kid who were 30 seemed so OLD but to be fair it’s not my fault they were like balding. Or like I keep seeing that people I know from high school are parents or watching things and being shocked that the mom characters are my age 🤡 but I don’t know it honestly feels pretty meaningless and arbitrary to me to mark and judge my life using age as a measurement

When I was 25 I felt so old, like oh god a quarter of a century!!!! Then me at 28 looking back at 25 y/o me I though oh god she was a baby! So now I realise I’m going to keep getting older so the age I am is the youngest I’ll be moving forward.
I’m now 33 and I feel the same as I’ve felt my whole life. All these years have only made me more experienced at life. Youth is overrated if you take care of yourself. Stop smoking, move more, eat better, manage stress, use sunscreen and tretinoin.

This is not cope. Started a couple years ago. Legitimately feel increasingly vigorous with every passing day. I would cave 22 yr old me’s skull in if we got in a fight. I have more hope & less guilt @ 26 than I could have ever dreamt of having at 20. I’m becoming beautiful, my skin is getting smoother, and the muscles under the skin more tight, more jagged. My seed is of a more robust, viscous consistency. I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world

Just found one of these in my childhood bedroom. I remember being entranced by the photos in these books. I wanted so badly to step into the pages and enter each little world.

A poem by Emily Dickinson. This is my grandma’s favorite poem which makes it mine too. She knows it by heart and has recited it to me for as long as I can remember
