Dear 40-Year-Old Me

Hey there, 40-year-old version of myself! Remember that pool party where you confidently rocked a G-string bikini? Sure, you felt a little shy, but you still owned it. Now, though? My current rear-end is way too bashful to soak up any sun—it’s practically hiding from it!

I still have a passion for swimming, but my latest swimsuit situation was less than flattering, making me look like I had a peculiar bulge in my swim trunks. So, earlier today, I braved the dreaded task of swimsuit shopping. All I wanted was a classic Speedo, but with no clue about my size, I haphazardly grabbed a few from the rack and headed into the ominous dressing room.

My strategy was simple: get in and out quickly. Clothes off, suit on. If it fit, I’d be all set. But as I bent over to wiggle into the suit, my back to the mirror, an alarm suddenly blared—loud and unrelenting. I yanked the suit up and glanced around the dressing room, half-expecting to see a “Butt Patrol” barge in to apprehend me for my jiggly buns!

Back in the day, there were no alarms when you wore that G-string; you looked sensational even if you didn’t believe it. After a few bewildering moments, I discovered the noise was just my phone—an Amber alert. While I felt for the victim, I was relieved that my awkward position hadn’t caused someone to faint.

In a flurry, I hurriedly got dressed, purchased the new suit, and exited. Admittedly, this suit is nowhere near as daring as the one you wore back then, but hey, I’m still wearing a swimsuit! If I could rewind, I would strut around that pool deck, showing off my fabulous self.

I want you to embrace your body. Yes, it may experience gravity’s effects with some droops and drops, but remember all the joy it brings: dancing at weddings, paddleboarding in Mexico, zooming down water slides, hiking mountains, and even serving as a pillow for tired children. Some days it may feel sluggish getting out of bed; other days, it won’t want to end.

Trust me, I know it’s not a perfect body, but it’s uniquely yours and fits you just right. So let go of any “buts” and embrace every curve and flaw.
