Level 35 seems like a pretty cool level πͺπ» I forgot MANY times that it was my birthday on Friday π
You've probably already gotten distracted let's be honest π
2: You can be both proud of where you are, and frustrated you're not where you want to be (or even not where you have been)
I'm bloody proud and surprised I managed to do 2 sets of 5 pull ups on my birthday. I USED to be able to do 7-8, I WANT to be able to do 10.
But how freaking COOL is it that I can still do some? I might be stuff at 2-3 for the most part, but how do we get better? We practice π (I believe in you)
In my 20s I felt weird about ageing because society expects especially women to be youthful forever (y tho?), and idolises teenagers (which is so freaking weird and messed up) when that period of time is a handful of years, a drop in time, when we are least wise and clever, and everything after then is when you really love!
In my 30s, I forget how old I am, I forget it's my birthday, and I care so much less about ageing, and am grateful I have the opportunity to age.
Age isn't something to be feared, it's something to experience.
I go through periods of time I feel I age quicker, periods of stress and where I may not have looked after myself as well as I could have. And then periods of time where I bounce back and am honestly grateful I feel "younger than I am"- because we are conditioned we should feel more rubbish as we get older? Please. Life is a myriad of feelings and sensations and some days are better and some days are worse. I'm grateful for my education and access that allows me to have the health I have.
How do you feel about ageing?

Big kiss for my husband who's freaking incredible, and made sure I had a special birthday even though we ended up travelling last minute, in the middle of moving our entire lives to a new city. Huge thank you to his family who made it a special day for me π₯Ή
Breakfast food is the BEST meal to go out for and share with people. You will NOT change my mind on this π I love a brunch date, it is the superior catch up. I've learnt that's just my prefe
