Life is Too Shirt

Thank you to my dear Amiga, LMT, for gifting me this tee shirt. My Blaga baby is still a newborn, and I am continuously proud of her. I have dreamed of writing for my entire life, and to understand that I've finally begin to achieve this dream, fills me with deep gratitude and excitement. I am not technologically inclined whatsoever. I am still trying to order my Starbucks correctly, even though that joke is a good 25 years old ☕️. Sorry, I will never accept that "tall" means a size small. It's so stupid. I mean, I'm going to roll with it but still. I also dislike the word "blog". It still sounds to me like an accidental sound. It evokes imagery of Harold Ramis being covered in a green, slimy substance in Ghostbusters (I always had the hots for Egon).

I am a proud blogger. I am not 20. I am not 30. I'm 39. I never imagined that my dream to write would manifest itself via this form of communication. I looked at blogs as a platform for "kids today". Now I'm so appreciative of how one ugly syllable has afforded me a vehicle for my voice. I recall buying these jeans three years ago. I liked them but felt they were not age appropriate. I swear what made me buy them was a magazine picture of Kate Hudson wearing a similar style. It continues to amaze me how I aged myself in so many ways. Thank god that's over with. Thanks, Kate! They are my favorite pair. I put them on, and I instantly feel cooler. They are shockingly versatile. The jeans were the perfect anchor to this adorable shirt, which was a surprise that arrived right before this photo shoot. I love that a tween can wear it, and so can I. T shirts have wisdom sometimes, and I am listening. I am indeed blogging my heart out, and it feels wonderful. I've gotten truly uplifting feedback from Blaga fans of all ages. I am thrilled to reach a varied age demographic. Truth, humor, and insight are ageless. Style is ageless. In fact, it gets better with time (mine sure has). I thank the blogosphere for being a non discriminatory space for anyone to join and speak their truth. And to wear whatever they want, regardless if there's a giant iridescent heart involved. Age is really just a number, nothing more. Buy the jeans, write the blog, fulfill the dream. Go buy your friend a t shirt; it will make her day. Maybe she will write about it.

❤️, LB
