I've finally become comfortable and at home in my body even with the realization that I will never be tall, super thin or perfectly proportioned. But I am way far away from celebrating my natural grey hair and ditching the dye. Baby steps!! Also, I fantasize about a lower face lift.... This despite actually being a self confident, happy middle aged woman.
I love hearing that you've found a way to make peace with your body, or at least parts of it. Finding ways to silence that criticism is so important! And I totally relate to how you can be totally fine in one way with your body but not in others. If my silvers hadn't been so striking, I would have had a much tougher time going natural. As it was, the transition, with the clear demarcation lines and dyed bits, about killed me. But now, I've got what the kids call money pieces and apparently pay money to do this to their hair!
Yes we went all of weekend 2 as well. I was so sick on day 3 so we left early as soon as I could muster up a 2 mile walk in think I had heat stroke. But I’d do it all again bc it was so much fun. We got free tix through my husband’s work. I was so insecure about my outfit and I blended in swimmingly. I think it’s like anything goes there as you need comfortable clothes.
Once I saw all the cowboy boots, I debated wearing mine (somehow even living here in Texas, I can't quite find many occasions for them), but I went for comfort and coolness, and the sneakers won. I do like the anything-goes part of festival dressing.
Yes festivals need comfort. I wore athletic tennis skirt and sneakers. The last day I was in my Mariners get up bc there was a game. Concerts I usually wear cowboy boots. I wear my boots out on date nights if we go down town. Going to a concert next week and my cowboy boots are it. It isn’t even a country concert but we get to sit so I’m wearing them. I’ll wear out on girls nights too but those are rare these days. Maybe we need a night out at Broken Spoke!

I was so struck by how many young women I saw looking at themselves on their phones. Music festival pressure is wild. Glad you had more peace!
So many selfies. So much posing. I can't even imagine the pressure.
Pretty soon Semaglutide will be in the water supply so no worries then.

(A heads up- I didn’t get this post in my email today (yet), but I did see it in the app…in case you notice any traffic issues)
Just got it in my email! (Did you do an a/b test? Maybe that delayed it?)
Yes, I did! It was eventually delivered on my other email account too.
Same
Thanks for the heads up, Joy. Ugh. I’ve been reading about this being a thing now.
Wait what weekend were you there!?
Weekend 2. Did you go?

Yes! I would love that.
