You’re so right about how tired we are! I’ve been working on a piece about this as well.
Thanks for the shoutout about my piece on Mel Robbins and Plagiarism— I’ve actually six pieces on the saga and how it impacts us all as writers- and a podcast episode with Andy Mort.
Yay, love this! This is so true! And beautifully and accurately described. I will add that, whenever I lose sight of my “fuck them” side and start feeling those old instincts to be perfect to everyone, I suffocate, and in those moments, I am probably close to seeing things in the wallpaper, in that great example you gave. It is the wise women in my life, and very much so in your posts here, that bring out my stronger, better self, wrinkles and back aches and complicated family dynamics and all. I’m very grateful for your voice that always reminds me to screw everything that isn’t truly meaningful, which includes a lot of people’s opinions and demands. Perimenopause looks good on you, in the pictures and in these rousing words. Thank you for capturing what all of us ladies need to hear, and giving vital hope, in the face of a wild world.
As always, your comments are thoughtful and beautifully written. 💕 I need to add something about those complicated family dynamics. Maybe that’s a whole other post!
