Just Bitchin’ About 40 Being the New 30?
Who said 40 is the new 30? Oprah? The fashion industry? I’m not sure………… Let me just say this - there are benefits, but come on - the new 30? This is what I, as a 42 year old woman, have to say about 40. My vision is gone - that is I can’t read a lipstick name or small type on that book I may want to read - nope, my children now shop with me and tell me what lipstick color I want to buy. And wrinkles - they were not there at 30. They are here at 40. So my choice is Botox in my forehead and other crap in my cheeks? I mean some people who overdo that stuff look like muppets (sorry). I don’t want to look like a muppet. So do I think I can age gracefully? I have not decided yet. I am told I look young for my age, and that should make me happy, but I do look in the mirror and I see the difference and that makes my wrinkles get worse cuz I am actually fretting about it. And guess what else can happen! Your bladder can drop and you have to have surgery to fix it - I AM NOT KIDDING! This has not happened to me yet (praise G-D), but hey I know 2 people already who have had to do this - OMG! Like I said there are benefits - like I have totally quit hanging out with people who are a waste of my time and I actually feel so much more free - there is too little time on this planet to hang out with those who bring you down. So let’s just say 40 is 40 and 30 is 30 and I KNOW 20 is 20. Just reality. So quit your bitchin…………that’s why I’m here.
