Aging

Note- this thought came to me while I’m sitting in the doctor’s office waiting room looking at myself in a mirror under fluorescent lighting. Do you ever look in the mirror and think DAMN; it’s rough out here?! For years I watched my mother obsess over taking care of her skin, having a regiment nightly routine. I remember thinking how absurd and time-consuming; I wouldn’t bother because aging is beautiful.

That was my mindset until I hit my 30s and was looking at myself in the mirror one day and suddenly realized I had tons of wrinkles and seemingly never get carded anymore.

I’m not sure when the switched flipped but I think it was officially after baby number two. I let myself go more than I should’ve and my body paid the consequences!

Anyhoo- all this to say, aging IS scary. It’s freaky and it also kind of sucks; HOWEVER, aren’t we lucky to be able to say that? Mindset is everything and in 2025, I am committed to focusing on positivity, self grace, and kindness!!!
