I worry. A lot. It’s exhausting.

No need to remind you that we’ve all been through some things.

I’m over 50 now so I’m not doing it anymore. I’m out. I hope you’ll join me.

50 Things a 50-Year-Old Woman Should No Longer Care About

  1. Laugh lines. Happiness and joy put them there. Leave them alone. Or get Botox.
  2. Lines on your forehead. Do you want to look like an expression-less Barbie? If you must Botox — moderation is key here.
  3. Whether to get Botox. If it makes you feel good, then do it. We love you as you are, but you do you. Just be sure to find a competent doctor that comes highly recommended, so you don’t look like The Joker.
  4. Droopy breasts. If you have them, rejoice. They have made you feel attractive, attracted people, and possibly fed and nurtured children. If you don’t have them, see #5.
  5. Small breasts. If you have them, rejoice. They aren’t drooping. They have made you feel attractive, attracted people, and possibly fed and nurtured children. If you don’t have them, see #4.
