I am now 24.
TWENTYFOURYEARSOFAGE! How did this happen?
What’s
it like to be so very old?
Well I
dress like a puritan now (this is my birthday dress)
I wear
lipstick lots now because I am a serious grown-up
My face
is FINALLY, reliably, spot-free (most of the time... touch wood) thanks to
this £3 serum from Superdrug that's probably already discontinued.
I have
dyed my hair red (very badly – it looks almost like it’s been tie-dyed)
I’ve
also been incredibly hungry since my birthday. Is this why people gain weight as they get older? Or did I stretch my stomach with all the ferrero rocher?
And then
there is the existential crisis which is very complicated and time-consuming. I have some posts in mind about it so I might write some stuff about it (all about feminism and identity etc.) but it could end up a bit ranty and incoherent.
I have
also added to my TBR pile:
Now I better go and catch up with my reading...
What IS it like to be so very old though? Must we all dress like puritans at 24? Because *I'm* going to dress like a hippy on my birthday, and probably forever.
ReplyDeleteDamn you and your spot free-ness. (I LOVE YOU. Oldie.)
Dooo dress like a hippy! It isn't a requirement of being ANCIENT that you dress like a puritan, it happened by accident!
DeleteI have a tiny spot on my nose now which is PUNISHMENT for vanity!
The existential crises get worst when you get closer to 30! I liked this post. Consider me intrigued. =)
