I’m turning fifty soon. I have a tendency to feel depressed around my birthday (long story), and the marker of fifty feels very big. I think it would help to hear other lesbians share about getting older, if you’re willing.

I do notice I feel more self-acceptance all the time; I feel more like my own self and less inclined to people-please. I’m trying to spend more time making and experiencing art. Overall I feel more grateful for my relationships and open to building more community. But sometimes it’s hard to get out of bed, and my cat says it’s fine if we just hang out on the couch all day.
