I loved this, Melanie! I’m older than you, and I have experienced so much of what you have written. At first I felt discouraged at what I could or could not due any more or any easier as I got older. But through prayer and self talk, I realized that if I give in and just “be” I would lose my esteem, peace, and courage to just roll with it. I think I’m finally (almost) there. Self acceptance as to who you are at this age is tough, but doable!

Thank you for this!
