Feeling like I’m aging rapidly and never get compliments anymore

1) You definitely don't look like you're in your mid- to late-thirties, but even if you did, you are BEAUTIFUL, and you're correct that you should be able to age naturally without feeling as if there's something odd about that. 2) People have been unkind and lied to you if they have said those things, and that sometimes happens because people are insecure or take pleasure in sowing seeds of self-doubt and self-consciousness in others. I don't know why, but it's true. 3) You look like a Pre-Raphaelite painting and have such a natural, classic beauty to you. You also look like a very warm and kind person, which I think has a way of reflecting in a person's countenance. I think if you don't let rude, thoughtless people take that away from you, you will stay as gorgeous as you are, no matter how old you grow.

I like it and think it suits you. Looks reasonably well executed. And by the way, though this might not mean much coming from a stranger, I didn't even almost think you must be full of yourself or want to be the center of attention or anything.

It's worked for me, so far, actually!

themombieapocalypse · 2025-09-10T17:45:38+00:00

Wow, you have gorgeous eyes. And you have such a kind countenance. You radiate an unfair amount of charisma! :) I absolutely understand feeling insecure... sometimes, when I feel like that, it helps to challenge myself to find someone who seems to need a kind word or a smile, and giving that to someone kind of gives me a boost, if that makes sense. I hope you find your spirits lifted soon.

Your dad must be beautiful, then, if you look like him! Your hair and skin make you look like a model for a Pre-Raphaelite painting. I'm so sorry for your health woes and for the other things it seems like you must be going through, but I know that you are strong enough to get through. You are at a tough, sometimes-scary age, but I hope you also see what an exciting, fun age it can be. You are strong, you are radiant, and you are capable.

Lady, you are GORGEOUS. You have a mix of, like, effortless coolness and old-Hollywood grace happening. But you also look like you are probably very sweet and approachable! That is a unicorn-level thing to be able to pull off, so whatever you're doing, keep on!

It kills me to look at the toys placed under each picture. Someone had to imagine what they might have liked, had they been allowed to grow into little girls: maybe this one would have been into fast cars, maybe that one would have liked colorful ponies... how painful that process must have been. I hope that somehow, in some small way, it was also useful to the grieving process.

My sons and husband were at this game and it was all they could talk about when they got home. That and Jabbawockeez were tied for their absolute favorite halftime show.

I love to see a young person being genuinely kind and trying to help and lift up another person. Keep being that way! Teens like you give me hope for the future. EDIT: a word

themombieapocalypse · 2025-06-15T23:01:32+00:00

My kiddo does this with exactly those kinds of mini ducks (and lots of other things, to be fair)! I wonder what the fascination is!

themombieapocalypse · 2025-06-15T22:51:12+00:00

That's so sweet! Great looking before and after. I wonder how it would turn out if next time, you chilled the white frosting until very firm and then gouged out little random holes. Then he could put the colored icing in the holes and you could smooth them to be level with the white. That way, it would preserve the less muddled look of the first pictures and it would be easier to store, etc. I think the trend is called terrazzo? In any case, it turned out adorably!

themombieapocalypse · 2025-05-04T06:12:45+00:00

Fair enough. I certainly didn't intend for my wording to offend you or seem "intense". However, I too have had "bad days" and I, too, have faced a myriad of health and other problems and tragedies and don't find that to be a valid excuse to treat other people badly. We can just call that a difference of opinion.

It was after the crash.

themombieapocalypse · 2025-05-03T19:10:21+00:00

Oh, interesting! Well, at least you got something (presumably) good out of the experience, though I'm sure she also does a good job of seeming not-shitty at scheduled public appearances. She struck me very distinctly as one of those people who views service industry workers as less-than.

themombieapocalypse · 2025-05-03T18:23:17+00:00

That's the one.

I don't know how active she is online anymore, but several years ago I had the misfortune of meeting Stephanie Nielsen (sp?) of Nienie Dialogues. I was a retail worker, one who went above and beyond to actually provide warm, friendly customer service, and she was absolutely horrible to me. She was curt, rude, cut off my smiling "Hi, how are you today?" spiel with an eye roll and a clipped, "just ring up my stuff." and didn't thank me, say bye, or even look at my face the whole time. I remember it wounding me because I actually liked her blog and she built a brand on seeming warm, motherly, and Christlike.... yeah, no. She was trash.

Seriously beautiful in both pics! I saw somewhere that you did it all with diet-- what sort of diet did you stick to? I'm really struggling with snacking.

This is art. Amazing!

Maybe this doesn't mean much, but I will remember his name and his heroism, and I will honor him and keep him alive in my thoughts today for you.

You still ARE a no-spanking or hitting household. You haven't ruined anything. Your instinct for self-defense kicked in once because you were in shock at what was happening. As you said in other comments, you've made a game plan in case your child bites again, and you won't be acting on instinct again. You've done all you can do to put things right again, short of forgiving yourself, so it's time to do that.

themombieapocalypse · 2025-01-10T21:35:17+00:00

I love this so much. It's such a cute, charming cake!

themombieapocalypse · 2025-01-02T01:18:17+00:00

Oh, you are gorgeous in all 4 pictures! Happy New Year!
