Age

Age. 

This is a picture of me that I took an hour or so ago, just ready to go ahead and soak in that tub. 

See those lines by my mouth? 

I remember when those appeared...4 yrs ago, almost overnight. And the rest, as well. Boom.

I don't feel them. 

But they're there. 

Age. 

Getting older may suck, especially for a woman where  looks are concerned...but it beats the alternative, I suppose. 

I don't think that any of us ever gets used to it, though. 

The days of character overtaking the days of...well, beauty was never a companion, but pretty happened every now and again. 

There's my womanly whatever for the night.
