I was at a party last week talking to beautiful woman in her 70s who clearly has had plastic surgery. There was something so odd about her eyes. They were like little round holes with no eyelashes. But, she didn’t have any eye wrinkles!
I hate that society has placed all this pressure on women to be perfect and look like they’ve never smiled or frowned or walked in the sun. I’m guilty of thinking of doing just what she did. And, then I get angry at myself for even considering it. Growing old sucks. But, it’s also the best thing ever!
