Loved reading this, thank you! Fascinating because I am 51 and still sweating the same stuff. I’m actually writing my take on aging right now, to post this Sunday. I have some cronie (croney?) wisdom but also like you, conflicted and confused after decades of conditioning. I don’t do Botox, and I’m trying not to judge (while secretly feeling shit in comparison, judging to make myself feel better then feeling shit about judging).
I’m reading this on a Friday evening; today is the last day in my thirties. I’d like to think it’s pretty mature and wise of me to stay home, catch up on Grey’s Anatomy, and read through Substack while my husband took the kids to a school bingo night.
I wouldn’t want it any other way! (What’s that song? Meredith something? I know you know it.)

ugh, does it never end?! but thank you Clare—I would LOVE to read your cronie/croney wisdom!

Ok now I’m off to watching old xtina videos.
Thanks for this, that was fun!
This is so beautifully put, Blossom! Thank you for sharing. I love that pact you made with yourself...hmm, maybe it's time for my first tattoo ;)
