I look older. I can see it. I find hair that’s not bleached by the sun but definitely white. I lost my baby fat and a bit of my innocence, which translates into “shit, I look bitchy!”
It’s a trade-off because meanwhile, I gained experience and insights. At 35, I know what makes me happy—this is pretty cool, it’s like finding your G spot for life. So when life is made of compromises and occasional disappointments, I’m not wandering around hoping to find something I like, something I’m good at, something rewarding, a meaning to all of this.
I kind of know what I’m doing.
I kind of know what I’m looking for.
I’m kind of hoping to find it.
Now I can ask myself the real questions:
- Is it okay to live in jeans/ t-shirts and shorts/ tank tops at 35?
- Can I just give up on trying to apply eyeliner?
- Does it matter if there are many Internet memes I really don’t get?
- Should I be ashamed of the fact I’m seen wearing the exact same clothes years apart on pictures?
I’ll report back with answers next year.
Or not.

Selamat ulang tahun ke 35! (How to say it in my language). I started applying eyeliner at age 36! Hahahahah
This is so cool! Doesn’t look like any language I know 🙂
Happy birthday!
I gave up on eyeliner at 30, no shame whatsoever
I can always do ONE eye. Not two. One.
*Sigh*
Wear an eye patch.
That’s actually a pretty relevant suggestion 😆
Happy Birthday!! Jeans are for everyone. Viral memes and videos come and go so fast that even if you don’t know “everyone” is talking about today, it doesn’t matter because it’ll be something else tomorrow. That’s what I tell myself!
Hope you’re having a great day.
I love your wisdom 🙂
Happy birthday!
Who really knows how to apply eyeliner anyway???
The… YouTube people with video tutorials on how to apply eyeliner?!
Exactly!!!!
No real people 😀
Happy BIrthday!!! Hope you have a wonderful day. 😉
Merci!
Happy birthday! I hope it’s a solid YES to all of your questions above, or else I’m really failing at life :).
Phew. If we all fail, then we’re not failing, right?!
Bon anniversaire !

Hey, I’m in Ottawa. County. In Kansas.
Ah, je crois que j’avais entendu parlé de celui-là! Le seul Ottawa à ma connaissance aux USA, je crois?
Oh non, t’en a plein de comtés qui s’appellent Ottawa. Pour les villes, c’est possible, ‘faut que je vérifie.
My mistake! Je ne sais pas pourquoi je nous croyais presque unique.
Je viens de regarder, et non, des villes qui s’appellent Ottawa aux États-Unis, il y en a plein (la 1ere page de recherche google m’en donne au moins 5, dans l’Ohio, le Kansas, l’Illinois, le Wisconsin et le Michigan)
Ah ben ça m’apprendra à snober Google!
Happy birthday, you wonderful land mermaid! (I might have stolen that one from Parks & Rec)…
I still wear jeans, tops and Converse shoes. I still have no intention of buying a “grown up” closet!
THANK YOU! I’m more Doc Martens than Converse but you’d have to pay me to wear shoes that look painful to wear.
Land mermaid… I like that one 😆
Joyeux anniversaire encore! 35 ans est définitivement l’âge de raison 😉
J’espère… je ne me sens pas toujours très raisonnable!
Happy very belated birthday!!!
One year older and wiser 🙂
Older, sure. Wiser… depends 😛
Haha !
Whoops posted twice lol
Happy very belated birthday!!
