retinol

literally just wrote this out in under five minutes, no editing. im pretty proud of it, though.

i’m eighteen, and already worrying about wrinkles.

about vitamin c, sunscreen, collagen, niacinamide, and

of course, retinol.

applying it every morning feels like an apology

the cool liquid-gel seeping into my skin

erasing mistakes of laughing to loudly,

enjoying the sun too much.

erasing the ink of a love letter barely even written

am i supposed to have a blank page when i send it?

Ha ha wait till you are 66 my age lol
Even I don’t care now
I know we all grow old
It will happen to you too if you lucky to live to old age that’s how I see life
It’s either live or die !
If we do Live till we are old we are the same soul we don’t magically die in middle age or old age
Our soul our heart even our thoughts are somewhat unchanged
I hope you live too to a ripe old age and if you have looked after your exterior yes good 👍
I always have too used moisturiser etc But I know it’s going to fade so the heart soul thoughts 💭 spirit more important
Great write take care x
