But i have learned lessons. To keep up with getting older, trying to chase that something you cant keep up with. So the more you relax into it and the less i try because sometimes you find yourself trying and you look at a picture of yourself and go, oh, god. Yeah. Like, i look horrible. You know, i have done things that i regret. And luckily, theyre things that dissolve and go away. So thats good because its so now, i just have a new motto. Just let it be. Wow. Good for her.
