I hear you x4 and add in being legitimately OLD. Turn grey & get your Medicare card and you don't take up space because you disappear! In some ways,if I can remember this truth when I'm feeling extra fat in a swimsuit, it's a relief. I'm pretty sure most eyes pass right over me without even spending any judgment on me. But it's also weird after having had Something to Say in some circles for many years. I'm still here, right? Right?
Yes. Yes you are still here. There is some relief in knowing you’re not “expected” to look how society wants you to, but the level of invisibility that brings is daunting. I see you!
