There's nothing more attractive than that. Good for you for not giving into peer pressure and getting Botox or surgical help - I think it's a slippery slope when people get started, not making them more confident as they hope to, but more conscious of everything else they'd like to change/"improve".<br /><br />There are countless better ways to spend our days instead of worrying about the way we look: creating stuff, enjoying nature, moving our bodies for the joy of it, hanging out with friends, playing with our pets, kids and grandkids. Life becomes so much bigger and more fun when we stop just looking at ourselves and start looking at the world around us.

But it's a fight we are destined to lose, because we are fighting against the way our bodies are *supposed* to change.<br />It's madness! I refuse to play their game. I observe what's happening (it's new and a bit strange and also very interesting), and then I move on with my life! We all deserve to. It's too sad to waste years on hating who we become, especially when aging is a privilege that many will never experience.

I have always felt and looked young for my age, but all of a sudden in the last year or so, I feel like I am looking more my age, but that is okay. I live in an area where all my friends have had some kind of plastic surgery or at least <br />Botox done, but I am not even considering it. Also, I have been overweight for at least 20 years, but I get compliments on how I look almost every day, so I am fine with it because I am happy and confident. We just need to love ourselves in every stage of life. That's what is important!<br /> Debbi Benedicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07022947175251684855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1532204237192804954.post-49578068789959437722020-03-11T07:24:29.666-07:002020-03-11T07:24:29.666-07:00I really like this, especially your last three sen...I really like this, especially your last three sentences. I've been "celebrating" my mid 30's with rosacea and other weird body things out of my control, so thank you for reminding me I don't need to pretend like I can control things. <3Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609264099969968987noreply@blogger.com
