All grown up and mature.
Oh my friend, you wouldn't fall for that scam any more than being told to stand 2 metres from another human because someone in a big expensive house who thought he was important, willed it... 😉
The framing of having earned every silvery highlight, adding another etching to the perimeter of the eyes like a ring being added to the trunk of a tree denoting it's longevity, experience. We have for the most part as a species been hijacked by industries that dictate beauty, attractiveness, the rules to measure ourselves against... I'm not playing!!!
A mass of Instagram influencers show us the profile of their pumped up, overbloated toxin filled lips and explain how that is the new standard to aim for.
Where are the people showing us the size of their soul, the depth of their heart and the magnitude of their smile, comfort and care???
That could perhaps impress me!
Although, sometimes, we just see it in each other anyway, right?
You just keep on influencing in the right way, F the years, the numbers that a lucrative industry tell us must define us, be you, wildwoman, be free of the shackles that so, so many feel. Have you ever noticed how the standard-setters are so often tossers???
Those selfies are testament to a life well lived, own them, own you as only you can.
Much love as ever. Your friend.😊
