Small Thoughts vol 1
Friends, I am thinking of writing a new series but I’m afraid as soon as I say I’m going to do something regularly I’ll never do it again. Let’s see if it sticks.
Obviously I’m calling it Small Thoughts, it’s in the title isn’t it, and it’s going to be a short (I’m honestly going to try & make these WAY less of a ramble than my usual stuff) piece (can I even call my writing a “piece”?!) about a random thought that keeps popping into my head.
Today’s thought- why is my face all one shade now?
I’ve noticed my lips are almost the same colour as my face these days. My eyes seem less bright. My eyebrows have been disappearing ever since I hit my 40’s five years ago. Why is this happening? As well as my body trying to replicate a circle my fave is trying to be all one shade. Is this what ageing is?
Today I thought I’d buy myself to a nice lipstick, a little treat to combat this face sameness. I went to Mecca where the lovely salesgirl, I swear, she looked like a model, helped me find something. I walked out of the store feeling good. I stopped to look at sunglasses, walked about 100m and realised I no longer had the lipstick balancing on top of my laptop that I’d picked up earlier from Apple. FUCK! I retraced my steps, asked in the shops I’d been in and at the information desk. Nobody had seen my lipstick.
So I am still all one shade but somebody just scored themselves a lovely Bobby Brown lip & cheek stain. I hope it looks nice on them.
Talk soon xx
shit i hate it when things like that happen.
I think the eyebrows fading is a real thing, i know lots of older women who have had theirs tattooed on recently because they have faded or disappeared, have no clue about the one colour thing though. I do know as my hair has greyed my skin tone seems to have changed and colours don't suit me the same as before, it's too confusing for my menopausal brain.
Yes you can call what you write a piece of writing, and you can make it as long or short as you please. Just keep doing you, write for you, those who enjoy it will keep reading and those who don't, well that's fine too. Your audience will find you, you don't need to find them
Gah. What a bugger! I hate losing things!!
Hope you can get another one pronto.
Yep, can relate to these things happening to me too. I’ll tell you what else made me feel normal, reading Sandwich over the long weekend. (My library has bought three books I’ve requested-it’s like Christmas!) Zoe Foster Blake’s latest is next. Have you read it? Xx
