Crossing the snacks aisle and resisting the temptation to grab shit, like we’re legit ass adults and we ain’t going out to buy a whole ass cake to eat in a single seating. WHY.
I bought pyjamas for the first time in my adult life last week, until now I just used old t-shirts, leggings, joggers etc. My nightwear drawer was where my outdoor clothes go to die. I’m nearly 50.
But also: politicians and other celebrities being younger than me.
(I mean of course Justin Bieber is younger than me and has been a celebrity for a long time, but that used to be the exception, now there are so many.)
Also, it reminds me of something Joan Rivers said. She said she knew two kinds of old folks; people she’d known growing up, and people she’d met in show business. The friends and neighbors all wanted to talk about the past, and the show biz people would always be excited about the upcoming shows and concerts. I know what kind I’ll try to be.
Mostly my job. I’m in healthcare and make life or death decisions on a regular basis. Was 28 when I started and am 32 now. I very regularly have the feeling like “who allowed me to get into this position”. And lately, I’ve started teaching which adds a whole other component.
