Note #11 - Team Invisibility vs. Team Notice Me
Is being invisible in midlife really that bad?
Dear Perimenopausal Self,
You’re invisible AF these days…and it’s fucking GREAT!!!!
When you’re at the gym all those unoriginal GenZ clones with their large, over-the-ear noise cancelling headphones, three-quarter tops and skin-tight leggings, with their white ankle socks worn on the outside of their pants get all the attention. And that’s FINE!
Who are these midlife bitches who are complaining this is a bad scenario right now????
Like PLEASE! Look away while you’re financially strapped and forced to sport a whole herd of insecurities with this Linebacker Look, threadlike hair, and parched, chicken skin!!
Where the hell is any sense of confident, self-esteem coming from? Are these the chicks who are wealthy AF, are on HRT and can afford cosmetic procedures? Is this who is on Team Notice Me???
At any given time, you feel like total shit for no reason. You want someone chatting you up when you feel sick? Uh…NO!
Or did Team Notice Me settle down early, have kids and now they want to live the NOTHING that they missed out on??
LISTEN UP LASSIES, take it from the girl who worked hard and played hard for almost 20+ years…her 20’s and 30’s were full of superficial appeal because people just wanted someone to go out with!
All the dim girls who feigned faux friendships just wanted companions to drown in loud clubs and bars and be seen at trendy brunch places and they never had anything interesting to say! Or there were the circling vultures who were just looking to stick their dicks in something to hook-up and fuck!
It was just as judgmental and shallow as high school! And now in midlife when we’re involuntarily flaunting SO many more vulnerabilities, no one should be inclined to be gunning for popularity!
WHY? Because this older shit is a lot more serious!! In high school, someone would have a huge zit pop up on their face and no one would say anything. Now a ginormous sun spot shows up and someone would be like, “That might me a melanoma. You should have that checked out…”
You see??? The stakes have changed!
There’s a reason why butterflies have a cocoon phase! No one should see or promote the viewing of this metamorphous shit!
Self-care + needing attention are mutually exclusive! So, BEAT IT!
XOXO!
