ReplyDeletelol well. I picked the image, so there's that...
DeleteNot unlikeable, but invisible. Aging women become invisible
ReplyDeleteYou'd think as there are growing numbers of us that'd change, but no :(
DeleteThanks for the link :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
You're welcome :)
DeleteAging women often becomes more honest, or have less decent filters. Perhaps that is it.
ReplyDeleteCould be.
DeleteShe looks cool on her photo. These days I don't care if I'm likeable or not, I do my thing, and that's it! Have a great week, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI needed to find a suitable photo, as there wasn't one already paired with the story. Sometimes that's a challenge...
DeleteThat WAS a short story. I feel for that woman who is 41. She is just barely past mid life as long as we live in this day and age.
ReplyDeleteEmbrace aging early, that's my motto.
