OPINION: At the age of 40, I’ve developed a superpower. OK, maybe it’s more like a lesser power – but it’s there all the same.
Just in case you suspect I’m now going to bang on about suddenly feeling comfortable with my body, sadly no. That particular wisdom evades me.
Frankly, looking in the mirror makes me grimace. Sagging boobs and belly, yellowing teeth and the faint creases of crows’ feet around my eyes that will only deepen with time. Then there are the grey hairs cropping up on my head and uncomfortable, unattractive bunions forming on my feet.
Over the past year, these facets of maturing have blanketed me in disappointment. Surely this is the so-called dawn of old age.
