It was one year ago today that overnight, I went from maybe 300 followers to over 1000. I don’t know what happened, other than I got lucky with the algorithms.
I’d been looking for accounts to follow which embraced ageing, provided inspiration and positivity towards ageing.
There were lots of women trying to look younger – ‘how to take 10 years off etc’, but that wasn’t what I needed to see. I needed to see silver hair, wrinkles, wobbly bits, funky fashion for over 50 and most of all women feeling fabulous.
Do you feel fabulous? I do. I feel happy with the saggy baggy skin, the wrinkles, crinkles and all. I don’t care that my face is melting and my skin is scarred from stretching, incidents and accidents.
I want to scream from the rooftops how awesome ageing is. We are the blessed ones, we are the lucky ones.
I shall be the old lady with a silver messy bun, wearing Doc Martens, bright colours and still taking photos to show how cool ageing can be. That will be me!
Stay fabulous!
