What do you think gets better with age?
Darling, nearly everything that’s worth keeping.
Wisdom, for starters. The kind that isn’t loud, but leans back in its chair and listens more than it speaks. The kind that doesn’t chase approval because it’s already come home to itself.
Shoes. You stop buying the ones that blister your feet just to match your bag. You invest in the ones that carry you — not just into rooms, but through life.
Friendships, oh yes. The old ones that have weathered all the messy bits, the late calls, the quiet fallings-out and the even quieter reconciliations. They don’t just know your story — they’ve underlined the best parts and kept your secrets safe in the margins.
Your skin. It might not be twenty anymore, but it glows with something better — resilience. That certain light that only comes from staying soft, even after life’s tried to make you hard.
Your taste in love. With age, you stop confusing intensity with intimacy. You want fewer sparks and more steady fires. Love that holds your hand, brings you soup, and remembers how you take your tea.
And darling — perspective. The kind that lets you laugh when the zipper breaks, the soufflé falls, or the flight gets canceled. Because you’ve learned that most things aren’t the end of the world — they’re just new stories waiting to be told over a glass of wine.
So what gets better with age?
Anything you’ve lived in fully, loved on gently, and let become entirely yours.
Stay fabulous,
— Luce 💋
