my knees now ache regularly.
I’m more sentimental about things and have began documenting a lot more of my life - photo albums/scrapbooking, journaling, keeping lil objects, etc.
I’m obsessive about the quality of my sleep.
my body is screaming that I’m running out of time to reproduce, despite having no actual desire for children.
I see through the bullshit, no longer fit the naive category.

some people may freak out, but to me it's just a sign that I'm experiencing the privilege that is aging (not to say that I'm old or something lol). but when I look at "imperfections" like skin texture, fine lines, and now my grey hair, I just think about how they're just a sign I've lived, and I'm so happy to have lived as long as I've been able to so far. I can't wait to see how I change throughout my life.

the first change happened after I got all my wisdom teeth taken out at once (cheeks weren’t as aggressively round anymore), but then the next major change happened after giving birth to my second child, developing PPA, and the pandemic starting a year later. I’m happy to look like I’ve lived more life and don’t mind the grey hair coming in or the laugh lines, but it’s definitely hard not to feel like it would be great if my face didn’t so clearly look like it had Seen Some Shit™ compared to before 🥴

My brain is about twenty years behind my actual age so it’s been physical things like my hair disappearing, my back hurting, gums receding, etc that show me I’m older.
All the big milestone birthdays have been notable because I don’t care about them. I didn’t feel like I expected to feel at 30 or 40 or 50. (there isn’t a maximum age on this app, I hope!)

even if its delusional, I really do love the idea of trusting that all of the perceived hardships, anxieties, and lessons ultimately lead to a path that's catered to our individual needs for growth and learning.
maybe I am detaching from reality in an effort to cope, but I truly am starting to believe that miracles (big and small) happen daily and that we will all be ok in the end.
attention and intention are everything.

rushing for who and what? stressing over what arbitrary deadlines?
if it’s not an actual emergency, then it’s not an emergency.
