It’s sad we’re programmed to think otherwise, but I love seeing lines and wrinkles on a woman’s face. The grace of the natural evolution of being human, the experience and wisdom, the hell yeah you are no longer an idiot in your 20s starved for everything and never has a jacket
@Adam_Karpiak One day my teenage son asked to talk to me, and told me he was worried about me; that my behavior had changed so much that he wanted me to seek mental help. I left shortly after that conversation.
@Adam_Karpiak ...again--but didn't know why ppl were laughing; I was released from an ICU stay but expected to go directly in to the office, because hosp had released me mid-day; 60 and 70-hour weeks became expected just to get my essential tasks done.
I'll host a summer dinner party, but only if I can discuss one guest in quietly scathing tones as I sit at an antique vanity afterward and remove my earrings.
