Clare, your words are spot on. I’m ashamed to say I find it very hard to reconcile what I should feel about anti-ageing and what I do feel. I wish I could experience the mental shift needed. It’s a constant headfuck battle we all feel. Just wanting to look our best in itself keeps the anti-ageing ball rolling I fear :( I always say when you hit the jackpot on the one armed bandit, scoop it all up and walk away, count yourself lucky to have had a win.
Thank you for your comment and honesty. The battle is exhausting, as are the layers of shame. Shame for aging, shame for doing/not doing something about it. But self-expression, beauty and aging are not mutually exclusive. You do you in whichever glorious way you like. :) xxxx
