I’ve thought about posting for so long but I’m still not comfortable with sharing my face. I hope this is ok for the sub. It’s been a very hot summer.

        You look great! anyways, long way to go, aging can be a lot more graceful if you’re taking care and you look like you’re doing well despite your struggles, keep at it

        And???

        Look i get it, looking at the younger girls on here can invoke feelings of jealousy or just like being too late. People in our age range grew up in a world where this wasnt remotely acceptable. Hell people still regularly used slurs (Fslur and Rslur) in common conversation. White kids saying the Nword. Shit was ridiculous back then.

        But were here now, and loving ourselves. Regardless of age, skin color, assigned gender, orientation, whatever you think is wrong with you i guarantee its not and someone here will love you for it. You might even inspire someone

        Ill be honest, ive been kinda having a (lighthearted) competition in my head with nikki, over popularity lol. The first thing i thought seeing your post is fuck as soon as she shows her face shes going to be more popular than both of us 😂

        Which is great, i love seeing new girls here! I love that your 42 and still rocking it girl! Never let that stop you, it isnt a problem for me.

        Ill be watching your career with great interest ❤️

        Plus, ill just say it lol, youre hot! No lying there

          Thank you so much. I hate phishing for the compliments but it really does help my self esteem hearing from everyone in the blahaj zone. I can recognize I’m doing great but inside won’t listen haha. Hopefully this is the start of a recurring post. Think I’ll just paint a circle over my face next time and not rely on an app to do it.

            Girl same with me when i started

            The attention definitely helps lol, and you definitely have my attention ❤️

            Hope you can get over the self esteem stuff, its shitty. I dealt with it by just not thinking and pressing the send button instead. Cant think about it if its already done!

            Come out of your shell on your own time, but dont mind me if i hold treats outside your shell to lure you out more 😅❤️

        I’m 38! And I hope my body looks as good as yours in a few more years time.

        There’s dozens of us older women here, dozens!
