my test results came back last night. i’m officially menopausal. old, dried up, out to pasture. i’m not gonna lie, i cried
😩
women more often than not pride themselves on appearance, thinness and youth rather than determination, strength, kindness. despite all the therapy i’ve sat through to work through my own body dysmorphia, i still get caught right up in it all. it’s take a beat, but after the tears, i reached out to my people to share. so here I am. you’re my people.
💥
age is just a number. hormones will wane. skin will sag. but they’ve got medications for all that. it’s the spirit inside that matters. it’s what you tell yourself, how you see the person in the mirror that will build you up, or knock you down. i don’t want to keep beating up on myself. it’s time for a little kindness
🥊
i might be almost 53 (hanging on to 52 by a thread), but that hasn’t stopped me from growing a business from the ground up, raising four amazing humans and falling in love with the finest man i’ve ever met. add building seven pounds of muscle to this aging frame and i’d say i should start sitting in the joy and pride rather than the sadness. so I’m just gonna keep celebrating the wins, posting my pr’s, and loving on my people. anything else just isn’t worth my energy. i hope all do the same today
