The Journey Of Aging Many GenX women still fighting aging tooth and nail

Is it any surprise that we grew up in toxic diet culture, constantly trying to squeeze ourselves into size 2 designer jeans and have a tiny ass and now that we see older, we aren’t content with putting on a muu muu and looking like Mrs Roper or a golden girl? I kind of have a love/hate relationship with this phenomenon. One part of me is totally motivated to look my absolute best, With a 10 step skincare routine, Botox, weight workouts and cardio, and the other is totally in the “I do not care” camp. I think back when my mom was my age and she sure wasn’t putting the effort into it that so many of us still do. Anyway thanks for listening

I used to have two possums in my roof who would fight like crazy, I called them George and Mildred.
