Thursday Murmurings
Princess Di, Scandalous Trials and Perimenopause
Happy Thursday, ya beauties!
(Yeah, I know, it’s been a while *insert awkward face emoji here*)
It’s Jubilee Week in the UK. What does that mean? Well, as someone who is very anti-monarchy, I truly couldn’t tell ya. But if we’re gonna talk Royals, the only one I’ll recognise is my girl, Di and I will always take a moment to show her serving lewks, honey. The cycling shorts and oversized hoodie? Pioneering. The varsity jacket with the pencil skirt? Excuse me, how dare you (and also, will absolutely be stealing this look). The wide leg pant and sailor blouse? I hope you shook everyone’s hand and said ‘I came to slay, bitch.’
Ahh, an icon. Gone but never forgotten.
Things that caught my eye this week
So, this romance novelist, who once wrote a blog post titled ‘How to Murder Your Husband’ is currently on trial for….murdering her husband and like, whew! She claims she’s innocent but, well, it ain’t looking good.
Food for Thought
Hey, can you stop talking down to yourself? It’s not cute. It’s not endearing. It doesn’t make people like you more. It teaches them how to treat you. And if you don’t value yourself…you see where I’m going with that. Stop with the cheap attempts at getting validation via self-slander. If you’re telling yourself a story about how crap you are and you’re sharing that story with others, well, eventually it just becomes too much emotional labour to constantly try to convince you otherwise. And then you just find yourself living in crapiness. And no one wants that.
So, cut it out and get it together. You’re fucking fabulous and you know it. Act like it.
You should subscribe to the paid version of The Murmuration because….
On Monday’s paid edition of The Murmuration, I’m talking about perimenopause because WHAT THE HELL IS IT AND OMG AM I IN IT? DO I HAVE IT? How are we even meant to refer to it and why isn’t everyone 38 and above constantly referring to it? I feel like I didn’t even hear the word perimenopause until like five years ago and now I’m supposed to know everything about it and I am more confused about it all by the second. But do know that I want to rage about the fact that women have to go through all this shit with our bodies over the course of a lifetime and men basically just go bald and buy mid-life crisis sports cars? Fuck off. I’ve had enough. Anyway, come freak out with me over on the paid edition on Monday! I’d love to hear how you all are approaching this.
