The fact that I woke up to this the day after my birthday !!! But at 26, I can tell you everything gets better, but of course I need to cry every year on my birthday, I can't explain why it just happens. Not always out of sadness but then again sometimes it is.

aging is so weird. I try to convince myself that I’m not going to make a big deal out of getting older each year, but it’s unavoidable at this point

something I realized that helps is that I’m still the same person I was when I was 22, 19, even 16. I just have more experience now. clutching my little retinol cream also helps (I’m 26).

happy birthday! was so happy to find your substack through someone restacking your girlhood article. it seems like there are a ton of new girlies on the substack scene and I’m so here for it
