What a stunning post! The artwork is so gorgeous, as are the thoughts. I relate so much to the questions about ageing and wondering how this will transform my body as I get older. I wrote a post on a similar topic about stories marking our skin that might speak to you, too?
Thank you, Caroline. Absolutely it's fine to share your post, I will look forward to reading it, thanks for sharing :-)
I've recently started growing out my (dyed) blonde hair in favour of the grey and silver coming through. I'm trying to think of them as streaks of moonbeams, but it's hard when there's still so much pressure to look a certain way. It feels like a life's work to swim against the stream of popular culture.
The hair thing is really intense. There is a wonderful instagram account called @silverstrandsofglitter I have really enjoyed following about going grey. My hair is still quite dark and I highlight it as I find my natural very dark brown looks dyed these days even though it isn't. oof. There's always something, right?

Aah … so good. Thank you. You put words to my half-formed thoughts.
Thank you Rebecca. I'm so happy that it resonated with you.
