You are fabulous and smart and you care...I'm aging naturally and because of my full Italian ancestry my skin is nice...basic common sense and care on my face.... haven't liked the sun really since the 90s....

I really benefited from going places where I would be surrounded by women my age and older and looking at their faces, looking at the elements of their faces that I was self-conscious/self-hating about mine (ie, lines around my mouth), and I would look at that exact element and say to myself “she looks really beautiful.” It took a lot of repetition (luckily I was in AA so being in a room w older women was a weekly thing) but it totally worked.

I feel like I don’t have the words to accurately share the YES SAME feeling. I mean I guess those are also words. But I don’t know if they capture the full emotional depth of how relatable I find this. 🖤🫂🖤
