So I am fast approaching 34 and I have been told my ovaries are older but I dont feel old in fact it doesnt seem long since I was roller-booting my way around the local housing estate, wearing flourescent towelling socks with my portable cassette player blasting out Howard Jones and Bananarama.
It wasnt until today, when I caught sight of myself in the mirror that I realised I was getting older, in fact I had turned into my mother. What the hell did I look like? Now because it is soo very cold and because I was at home cleaning, I wasnt exactly dressed to impress (or be seen by anyone - even the postman) I was wearing 2 pair of socks, leggings under joggers (which make my thighs look huge) thermal top, under long sleeve Tshirt, under fleece jumper, under hoodie (Michelin woman) scarf, fingerless gloves and a fleece hat (homeless squatter), all of which were either grey or navy blue (I like to match even when wearing shit clothes)
I honestly didnt recognise the reflection, round fat face, piggy tired eyes with dark circles the size of doughnuts, no make up, angry, worried look on my face showing wrinkles between my brows that you could grow carrots in. Reminded me of the song, Waterfalls by TLC, 'he takes a look in the mirror but he doesn't recognise his own face' now that guy had aids, I had no fucking excuse I just looked worn out and stressed. So what do I do - eat chocolate, thats what (after putting the washing on and covering my face in Nivea)
