Well, that last response was fabulous!

I think one of the best things about getting older is this:

I have always been full of regrets of the past and worries about the future. Every day it was "what will (should) I be when I grow up? why didn't I...? why can't I ...?"

Now that I am getting older, I feel less pressure about this. This is me, and I am just starting to see that it's okay. Mostly because I am slowly letting go of all of the "shoulds" and I am choosing to NOT spend effort and time on people who make me feel bad. And I don't even expect to fit in certain clothes, or succeed in a specific career. Sure, I feel I am disappearing sometimes, that everyone else is younger and prettier and smarter, but it is actually a relief! I LIKE the feeling of disappearing, of blending in- haha. I have been so self conscious all of my life and now I am happy to just blend in and not be noticed.

Having said that, the BEST blessing about getting older is this:

When you get older, your eyesight starts to get worse. So when you look in the mirror, sometimes you don't even notice how horrible you look! It's kind of cool! Which is why I am in no hurry to get glasses!
