Georgia Tennant Instagram – As a forty year old I feel like I have some things to impart. If not to you then to the younger me.
1. Fuck you’re beautiful. Eat it. Wear it. Show it off.
2. Being kind isn’t weak, it’s glorious. Do it. Always.
3. Just because you haven’t experienced it doesn’t mean it’s not real. Don’t be so arrogant to assume your human experience is all there is.
4. Be curious.
5. People almost always do mean things when they’re scared. The first thing we must try and do as humans is build connections. So meet cruelty with comfort. (But if they carry on too long, fuck ‘em)
6. Loads of things taste better than skinny feels. That was a lie.
7. The internet is being weaponized so please question everything you read and ask yourself why you’re being told to read it. Then question it again. Then go for a walk.
8. There are different friends for different things. The right ones stay.
9. Maybe your shoe size isn’t right. Double check.
10. Get a smear test.
11. If you choose to have kids, love them for who they are or they’ll find someone else who will.
I went to school with girls who didn’t get to turn 40, whose kids don’t get to mock their mums for being ‘past it’ as mine have done all week…
So I am so honored to be here. Surrounded by my friends, family, too many children to count, a little bit wrinklier, a lot saggier but my goodness a hell of a lot happier. Time is not cruel, it’s a gift. Accept it with huge thanks and gratitude (but do check if they have any 2 for 1 deals on).
Merry Christmas Everyone x | Posted on 25/Dec/2024 15:21:57
