Anyone else found age freeing?
(lemmy.nz)
i guess i've aleays been old.
I proudly point to my wrinkles and point out this achievement unlocked by a million smiles. And my few chin hairs, that took me 45 years to grow! I think aging on a lady looks damn fine. Elegant and wise. My favourite are the ladies who look like they could curse you with inconvenience, with a flicker of an eyelid. They're my people. I aspire to that level of greatness. Blessed be all.
Love everything about this <3
I see blokes talking about how long it took to grow their beards, and how long it took to become full. I put more effort in by years, why shouldn't I be proud. We can flip the narrative given to us, that only certain things are allowed to be celebrated. There are no rules, everything is made up. And a lot of the dialogue made up around women is designed to opress. I do not subscribe!
I do pluck them, tho because otherwise I give myself sores on my face fiddling with them, lol.
Personally I'm excited for my crone phase. All knowledgeable and wise and able to burst any ego balloon with a pin prick. I'm honing my witchy look. And unapologetically existing.
I read "bird app" and thought of what is now the cross app and I thought this would be a post about social media addiction.
Not age per se, but the perspective that's gained from it.
When I was young and neurotic I wanted everybody to like me and put up with a lot of shit.
Now I'm old and neurotic, but no longer care if everybody likes me or not and don't put up with shit.
Oh i thought you said freezing and yes, i am cold.
lol always

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.
