This week has been a busy life week. A welcome change from the recent day to day norm. My limbo-land is finally drawing to a close.
When you have ten to twelve hours alone with only your head and reruns of Grey's Anatomy for company you can discover a lot about yourself. Meredith and Co. became my best friends. I enjoyed my fantasies about Hunt and Sloan and which character I am most like on the show, but when the hour turns into three and four episodes this can quickly become old and unappealing. I unearthed how both resilient and weak I can be at the same time. A conflicting duality.
This search made me a little apprehensive. It was the very first time in my life I had considered going to a cruelty free salon. It never dawned on me before.

I sort of welcome the transition from the Spring years of life into my Summer season. By sort of I mean, I had a meltdown turning thirty, but now a ripe old turrteetree I'm excited to embrace societal norms and settle into married life, put roots down, get a mortgage and have children.. alright steady on.. not that excited... yet. Lets just pause at mortgage for the time being.
The inevitability of aging, lets get physical.

I am horrified and I mean aghast at the physical changes I have to contend with on a daily basis. I saw a picture of my 23 year old self last week and as Cher so melodically put it "if I could turn back Tii - imme". Youth is wasted on the young for sure, staring at that photograph I appreciate now what I really didn't then. Don't get me wrong I am absolutely grateful every day for my health but I'd like this vessel that I travel around in daily to be just a Teeny. Bit. Shinier.
You know how it is when you stand in front of the looking glass and you don't recognise everything reflected back at you. You can't resist leaning in bit closer to further inspect every line, wrinkle and lumpy dimple. Poems and tomes have been written about the age old discussion on aging.
