Friends,
Itās the weekend - och aye the noo!
Hereās three things you may find interesting and/or meaningful.
1. Reading š°
Getting old is good, actually ā Jessica Valentini.
āI turned 43 years-old on Mondayānot a particularly momentous age, but one that got me thinking about how much Iām enjoying getting older. I feel more like myself than ever before, I love the family and friends Iāve cultivated, andābest of allāI really and truly donāt give a fuck what people think about me.Ā
After decades of letting other peopleās opinions shape and control my life, itās quite a feeling. And one thatās completely unexpected.Ā
Like most Americansāwomen, especiallyāI was taught to fear aging. Told that getting older meant I would be less attractive, socially irrelevant and hopelessly uncool.Ā
What a fucking scam.ā
2. A Quote š
A piece of advice worth passing on:
I often come back to this gentle ārules for lifeā list from the artistĀ Nathaniel Russell:
āMake things you want to see; learn about yourself and the world; put on your own shows; make your friends laugh; try not to drive yourself nuts or be too hard on yourself; try to be a good person; do what it is you feel like you should be doing.ā
3. I Live Here Now š¤
