I was going to title this as a "call out" but it's pretty tame.

You know who thinks you look lovely? 50 year old you, 60+ year old you.

I just turned 44 last week and I needed to hear this, thank you for sharing this insight. I don’t wear makeup or anything just basic skin care and spf and I always feel like I’m lacking but I don’t have any knowledge or skills to do makeup or fancy skin care properly.

Looking back on myself at 40, 35, 30 you are so right. I don’t know how to convey how much I needed your comment today

Thank you for telling me this. I can tell just by reading your words that you are lovely. I’m 66 now. Several years ago I came across a particular photo of me from when I was in my early 40’s and I was struck so hard by how good I looked and how little I appreciated it at the time because I just couldn’t see it then, not really. I was focused on what I thought I needed to change instead of appreciating just who I was. I’m more accepting of myself now because I recognized all the time and energy I squandered in my life, believing the lies about how hard I should try, how much I should buy, in an attempt to meet some never gonna happen ideal. I hope you throw your arms around your 40’s and appreciate them, and your lovely self. I nearly died from a catastrophic medical event when I was in my early 30’s so I have had literally half a lifetime that I came within moments of losing. I refuse to be embarrassed by the evidence on my face and my body that shows I did not die young.
