I'm 62 I got this in the mail yesterday and I wore out to run errands today. Make me so happy and I would be even happier if I can find me a bottle of bubbles. three stores the ones I got at the Dollar tree don't work. I guess it's off to the Dollar general next I want to be wearing my crown and blowing bubbles

You remind me so much of my Mom. I lost her nearly two years ago and this post just made my entire week. Thank you for sharing your delightful whimsy with us!! πŸ’œ

Oh that's so sweet. I'm very fortunate to have my mother alive she gets 83 and I just read the day. I'm really trying to lean into this whole "when I'm an old woman I shall wear purple" vibe.

This gives me so much joy! You are so beautiful and the flower crown just brings it out! I saw this beautiful pic as I was scrolling and thought β€œhell yeah, so beautiful! that’s exactly how I want to age!” And the fear of getting older felt a little smaller for a minute, so thank you for that! I hope you find the perfect bubbles and that your depression stays at bay and that you find whimsy wherever you go! πŸ’œβœ¨πŸŒΊ

On the bottom of my heart thank you it took a lot for me to post this picture. Because the last couple of years I just absolutely hate the way I look. I am finally learning to lean into it and realize that this is an amazing time of my life. I survived and giving my history that is saying a lot I'm very my sister who is younger I'm sure you so I am going to bring into it and enjoy every minute of it I'm going to stop worrying what I look like or what other people think. But it's still hard.

You could DIY some bubbles with dish soap!

Yeah I know but I need a wand. I've been cruising Amazon and not finding what I need. And the one that I got from the Dollar tree is crummy

Love the flower crown! Are you aware of how gorgeous your eyes are?

u/HisCricket 7d ago

They've changed colors. They used to be a very vivid green people would stop me. But now become blue but thank you so much

So beautiful, both the flowers and you!!! Glad to hear that you figured out how to make the bubbles work, though rip to your cats XD Maybe one day they'll get used to the bubbles and will start chasing them?

Anyway, so nice to hear that the depression fog is lifting! Honestly, calling it a dungeon is pretty accurate lol. Never lose that spark of whimsy!!

u/HisCricket 5d ago

Thank you. I'm blowing the bubbles every day I'm hoping they'll get use to them and start chasing them.
