pairing: Eddie Munson x Reader

plot summary: It’s Eddie’s birthday! He said no presents but you said fuck that. He’s getting two.

word count: 4k+

cw: 18+ ONLY, MINORS DNI; this is smut; porn with plot; Eddie being mean to Gareth; handjobs and blowjobs and Gareth unknowingly being a bystander of both; there’s some cum stuff in here, too.

notes: set in early 1990s. reader and Eddie are both in early/mid 20s. let’s pretend the PlayStation had co-op online gaming so this story makes sense. a part two may be in store. let me know what you think. 😈

Working overtime at The Hideout was not something you necessarily wanted to do, but with Eddie’s birthday coming up, it was something you had to do.

As much as you would have liked them to, bills wouldn’t simply pause just because you wanted to save money to buy Eddie a PlayStation. No, you had to use your math-inept brain to start budgeting, getting some help from Steve, who’d just recently been hired to work at a local accounting firm.

While you were hoping Steve would magically find money hidden somewhere in your finances, you were annoyed but not surprised at his only solution:

“You need to pick up more shifts.”

You and Eddie had moved into an apartment just outside of Hawkins after Eddie had finally graduated, you having helped him through that dreaded English class so you could both walk the stage together. That had been three years ago now. Money was tight, sure, but the two of you never went without the essentials. There was always dinner to be had, clothes to be worn, cable to be watched.

Between you bartending and trying to get a degree part-time, and Eddie dealing and working at the auto shop part-time, you both managed to make just enough to stay afloat.

Sometimes Eddie would score a few hundred playing a gig with Corroded Coffin, and he’d use that to wine and dine you like the fancy little lady you were. His words, not yours. You knew Eddie liked to spoil you. You knew he hated he couldn’t do it more.

Many stoned late night conversations had been had between the two of you where he fantasized aloud about taking you country to country once the band made it big, fucking you in soft, plush, expensive hotel beds, and spoon feeding you gelato while watching the sunset on a balcony, your bodies wrapped in silk, name-embroidered robes.

Eddie was a total lush at heart. The most broke rich man you’d ever met. You assumed this was because he came from virtually nothing. You didn’t need everything he wanted to give you, but he made it clear on more than one occasion that once money wasn’t a barrier, he would treat you like a queen.

You felt like he already did.

This is why you sucked up the hatred you had for The Hideout and told Roy, your boss, you’d work whatever shifts he could give you for the next few weeks. You endured handfuls of handsy truck drivers, pretended to flirtatiously banter with beyond drunk bikers, and held back the powerful urge to gag while stroking the egos of middle aged business men who chose to go through their midlife crisis in a seedy, dimly lit bar.

Seeing the look on Eddie’s face when you slid the wrapped package across the small dining table in your kitchen made all of the extra hours of rum pouring and forced salacious smiles worth it.

He had been mid-sentence, talking about a client at the auto shop who he’d spent an hour after hours with, the guy telling him all about medieval torture devices. This didn’t surprise you. Eddie’s fascination with the macabre was one of the things that had drawn the two of you together in the first place.

The first time you’d officially met was in English class your junior year, his third senior year. You’d told him you lived in a funeral home because your dad was a generational mortician, and that one day you’d probably own and operate it once your father retired. You also told him your mom was a self-proclaimed psychic who held seances for family members of the dead following their services. Eddie open-mouth stared at you for at least an entire minute in silence before telling you that was the creepiest fucking thing he’d ever heard, and that he would never feel fulfilled in life until you invited him over so he could experience it all firsthand.

The rest is history.

“What is this?” Eddie asked, brown eyes wide as he observed the gift in front of him.

“I know we said no presents this year so we can save for the new car, but... you know how I had all those late night study groups I had to go to this semester?”

He nodded, long fingers toying with the black parchment wrapping paper.

“Weeeeeell, actually, I was working overtime at The Hideout,” you admitted, pulling your bottom lip into your mouth. You knew he wasn’t going to be happy to hear you hadn’t been honest this past month, but you figured once he saw what you’d bought him (and what you’d had planned for the rest of the night), maybe he’d decide to let bygones be bygones. Not likely, as Eddie thoroughly enjoyed teaching you lessons as punishment for bad behavior, and you figured lying for weeks on end about attending study groups qualified as pretty bad behavior. You rushed out the next few sentences, smiling innocently and tilting your head to try and appear as cute as you possibly could, “It was so I could buy you that. For your birthday. Happy birthday, Eddie. Love you.”

Eddie’s brows lifted toward his hairline at your admittance, slow blinking a few times as your confession set in.

“We are definitely going to revisit all that at a later point,” Eddie warned, a ringed finger pointing at you. “Because that is so not okay. But -- ” he couldn’t help the excited, boyish grin that enveloped his features. “I really wanna open this and see what it is.”

You giggled in excitement at his eagerness, drumming your fingers on the table. “Okay, come on! Open it!” You would enjoy these few hours of spoiling him as he so frequently spoiled you, and you’d worry about whatever punishment he’d dole out when it came later.

And right now, the look of elation on his face as he unwrapped the PlayStation was worth however many studded belt spankings or denied orgasms you had in your near future.

“Fuck! Baby! No way!” he practically squealed, jumping up from the chair. It fell to the ground behind him with a clatter, but he paid no mind. He held the gaming console above him in awe. “You’re fucking kidding!”

“No, no kidding,” you answered, even though you knew his words were rhetorical. You could feel your cheeks growing sore with the smile stretched across your face, basking in his reaction. “There’s a real PlayStation in there, I swear.”

He laughed and protectively cradled the console under his arm, hurrying to you to slam his lips against yours in a kiss. No tongue, but plenty of fervor. “God, I fucking love you,” he muttered, placing small kisses on your nose and cheeks. “I mean, I’d fucking love you even if you got me nothing, or just, like, socks or something, but, shit, baby, this is -- I have to call Gareth! We can play King’s Field together now!”

A laugh bubbled out of your lips at his sudden change in direction, knowing Eddie was always at the whim of his impulses. You watched as he ran off to the living room to make the call. You knew Gareth would be waiting for it, as you’d told him to make sure he didn’t have plans on Eddie’s birthday, so the two of them could spend it playing the multiplayer game together late into the night.

It was all part of your grander birthday plan.

You waited until you heard Eddie’s voice rambling off to Gareth in the living room, the sounds of him unboxing the console to start to hook it up mingled into his conversation, before you disappeared into your bedroom to change.

Phase one, complete, success. Phase two, final phase, commence.

𖤐 ֪ 𖤐 ֪ 𖤐

It was about twenty minutes later when you reemerged from the bedroom, wearing nothing but a newly bought matching blood red bra and panty set. It was solid colored with black lace outlining the rim of both pieces, flattering against your skin tone.

Eddie was sitting on the edge of the La-Z-Boy, headset mussing down his wild curls, talking animatedly to Gareth about the skeletons they were currently fighting on the screen.

“No, no! Go left, go left! God damnit, Gareth, do you know what your left is?!”

Eddie was loud and mouthy enough as it is, but add in a game where he had the ability to lose and the whole apartment complex would be banging on their door come tomorrow morning with noise complaints. Hell hath no fury like a twenty-something man’s confidence in his pretend battling skills.

While some might find it annoying, you found Eddie’s unbridled passion for everything he was interested in endearing. He was someone who let himself be totally engulfed by the plot of a movie or a game or a story, attaching himself to the characters and their the ups and downs as if they were tangible and could be found in his own everyday life.

You were happy for his distraction as it gave you time to compose yourself and slowly stalk your way to the center of the living room, where the chair sat directly across from the TV.

By the time you made your way to the side of the La-Z-Boy, finally coming into Eddie’s peripheral vision, he was still berating Gareth for his poor sense of direction.

“I mean, what the hell, Gare, we learned our lefts and rights in, like -- oh, fuck.”

You’d brought you hand out to trail down the exposed skin of Eddie’s arm, watching it goosebump in your wake. He’d taken his shirt off at some point, much to your appreciation. Eddie’s attention was fully on you now, as was evident from his failed completed sentence to Gareth, who you could now hear through Eddie’s headset going, “Oh, fuck? What? What, oh fuck? You don’t even know how to talk, Munson.”

But Gareth went unheard by Eddie, who’s eyes were drinking in the sight of you in your lingerie set. His tongue darted out to lick at his lower lip, which he then pulled into his mouth to sink his top teeth into.

You offered him a playful smile, watching as his neck began to turn red, the color almost a perfect match for the satin set you had on.

Without a word, you dropped to your knees on the carpet in front of him, sitting between his legs.

“What -- what are you doing?” he managed to choke out.

Gareth’s voice through the headset: “What? Dude, I’m fucking going left like you told me to!”

“Shut up, Gareth,” Eddie warned, his brown eyes now full of fire for the sight before him.

He brought one hand to cover the mouthpiece of his headset, the other placing the controller on his lap to reach out and cradle your face. You leaned into it.

“What are you doing, baby?” Eddie asked again, but he knew. Especially from the wicked grin you were giving him now.

“Just play your game, Eddie,” you whispered, careful to be quiet so Gareth didn’t hear. You moved your head to rest your cheek on his thigh, staring up at him with big doe eyes as you brought the fingers of one hand to lightly trace the line of his zipper. “And don’t get caught. We don’t want Gareth to know what a bad girl I’m being, playing with your cock while you play with him.”

His breath caught in his throat. He couldn’t believe it.

Not only had you gotten him exactly what he’d been wanting since it came out that prior winter, but now you were going to suck him off while he played it?

Jesus, how did he get so lucky?

“You are a fucking minx,” Eddie said, voice stern but his face lighting up in satisfaction as he readjusted himself on the chair, spreading his legs a bit wider.

He dropped the hand from the headset and picked the controller back up again just as Gareth was saying, “Eddie, man, are you still there? Your character’s been standing in the same place for, like, five minutes.”

𖤐 ֪ 𖤐 ֪ 𖤐

Sucking dick was not only one of your favorite things to do, but it was one of the things you were best at.

You prided yourself on how quickly you could work Eddie into a panting frenzy, how easy it was for him to lose control in your mouth, thrusting his hips to force you to take what you could and to choke back the rest.

But tonight you were taking it slow. Slow and sloppy. And you weren’t letting him do any of the work.

You’d only pulled his cock from his jeans, leaving his balls in the confines of the tight denim. You’d used so much spit that the fabric of his pants was soaking through to his boxer briefs. You watched his face intently as one of your hands wrapped around the thickness of him, stroking upwards in long, drawn out movements. You could tell he was trying to jerk his hips up but was failing, as your other hand was pressed into his side, trying its hardest to keep his body weight back against the chair.

“Greedy,” you scolded, clicking your tongue to the roof of your mouth.

He smiled sheepishly, eyes meeting yours over his hands which were holding the controller against his chest. He stopped the movement of his hips even though he felt as if it physically pained him to do so.

You’d been working him with your hands and mouth for the better part of half an hour now, releasing him entirely any time he came close to coming. He’d let a whine out at one point, to which Gareth asked, “Dude, you good?” and Eddie had to scramble out in his lust addled brain an excuse as to why that type of noise had erupted from him. He didn’t even remember what he’d said to explain it away.

All Eddie wanted to do was come. He wanted to cover you in him, drench your face and chest as you’d drenched his pants and cock in your warm saliva. He kept picturing it in his head, in alarmingly graphic detail, which was making this video game very, very hard to concentrate on.

Eddie got the idea that maybe if you neared your breaking point too, he’d finally be allowed to come. His cock throbbed at the thought, a bead of precum oozing from his slit. You sucked it away. He groaned and rolled his eyes back, controller wobbling in his hand and threatening to fall to the floor.

Taking a deep breath, he steadied his grip again, pressing a few random assortments of buttons to make Gareth think he was still coherent and definitely not getting a blowjob from his girlfriend right now.

“Will you please play with yourself?” Eddie asked, trying to put forth his best pleading puppy dog eyes. This was his big plan. Get you to get yourself off so he could sneak his orgasm in there, too.

He clearly had forgotten to cover the mouthpiece because Gareth’s voice was incredulous on the other end.

“What the fuck, Munson? What do you mean? I can’t play with myself! We’re almost at the end, man! Don’t give up now!”

You couldn’t help the laugh that escaped your lips, your head falling back for a moment at the exasperation in Gareth’s voice. Gareth was none the wiser, but just so you felt better, you made a mental note to buy him something nice or bake him those cookies you knew he liked, just for being such an unknowingly good sport during all of this.

Sticking your tongue out a bit, you bit down on the fleshy muscle in your mouth before rising more on your knees, leaning closer to Eddie. With the hand that was previously pushing his hips down, you covered his mouthpiece. “Is this a game you can win?” you asked. Your hand had stopped stroking now, and your fingers were instead running light pressured circles around the head of his weeping cock.

“Wha -- what? Uh, yeah... yeah, I can win,” Eddie stumbled, attention off the game momentarily to watch your hot little mouth move. “Just... fuck up a few more skeletons...”

“Okay,” you said, hand tightening on his member again, this time sliding it down slowly, twisting as you went. He hissed, trying to lean forward to capture your mouth with his own. You backed away, falling back down to your bottom as you continued playing with him in your hand. “Then win and I’ll let you come.”

Eddie huffed, trying to thrust his hips up for more friction but was stopped by your hand reclaiming its spot on his pelvis again, pushing him back down. If he wanted, he could absolutely overpower you. He could grab your wrists and pull you up into his lap, sliding the side of your panties over with one hand before impaling you on his wanting cock. He knows you’d let him. But he likes when you get like this, thinking you’re in control. It makes it all that much better when he finally flips the script and has you teary eyed begging for him to let you come.

“Gareth, I swear to fucking god, if we don’t win this game in the next three minutes, I’m never speaking to you again.”

𖤐 ֪ 𖤐 ֪ 𖤐

It takes longer than three minutes, and it’s not because of Gareth.

Eddie keeps screwing up, pressing X when he should be pressing O; spamming the start button to bring up the game menu when you take him particularly deep into your throat; accidentally stabbing Gareth’s character with a sword instead of the skeleton because his eyes keep rolling into the back of his head with the words spilling from your filthy mouth.

It’s all, “tastes so good, Eddie,” and “can’t even fit you all in my mouth,” and “I’m dripping on the floor, want you so bad.”

Evil woman.

Evil, perfect woman.

Eddie sees a light at the end of the tunnel. Literally. In the game, the hallway he and Gareth had been running down is opening into the brightness of a lit arena. It’s the final stage. One more fucking skeleton and he can let go. He can turn this headset off and grunt and groan to his heart’s content without having to worry about Gareth thinking he’s a fucking creep.

“I’m almost there...” Eddie’s saying, and he’s kind of talking about winning the game, but is mostly talking about the orgasm he can feel tightening in his balls, swirling in his stomach, clenching in his thighs.

“Yeah, dude! We got this!”

Eddie does not want to hear Gareth’s voice right now. He wants to hear you, pretty and whiny, loving the noises you make when you make him come. He loves how much you love it. You’re not even the one coming, but you’re always right there with him, moaning about how good his warm seed feels inside you or all over you, wherever he decides to finish. You’re not picky.

Just then, Eddie jolts forward in the chair. The head of his hard length hits the back of your throat and you cough a little, sputtering as you move your head. Looking back over your shoulder at the TV screen, hand moving up and down Eddie’s slippery cock, you see the words 'YOU WIN' in radioactive green.

“Fuuuuuuck, yes!” Eddie shouts, throwing the controller in the air. He rips off the headset without saying goodbye to Gareth, dropping it to the ground as he turns his attention back to you.

He looks absolutely wrecked. Black bangs are clung to his forehead with sweat, his chest is heavy with labored breaths, his skin is tinged pink from being so worked up and then worked back down over and over for the past hour. He can’t believe he hasn’t accidentally came yet. He assumes it’s because his mind was preoccupied with the game, because now that his full attention is on you, remembering what you’re wearing, what you’re doing, and how you look so fucking good doing it, he doesn’t think he’s going to last.

“Baby, please, I wanna come,” he’s saying, bringing one hand to the back of your head, tangling it in your hair. He’s not guiding you or helping at all, doesn’t want to be in control yet, he just wants to touch you, needs to have his hands on you somehow. “I won, did you see, I won, I get to come, right? Please make me come...”

You bit back a self-satisfied look at his pleading, bringing both hands now to wrap around the length of him. It doesn’t need it, already soaking from being in your mouth, but you let a string of spit fall onto the head of his cock, making your hands glide even easier over the velvety hardness of him. You can feel him throbbing, his hips finally able to rock up into your touch.

“Are you gonna make me all messy, Eddie?” you ask, tilting your head down to look up at him with wide, faux innocent eyes.

He’s nodding, thrusts finding no rhythm, just trying to reach release. “Yeah, baby, you love it when I cover you in my come, get you all wet and sticky...”

“Uh-huh. Love when you help me clean it up, too.”

And that’s what does it.

Eddie let out a stilted moan, one that changed octaves, and he’s coming harder than he thinks he’s ever come before.

Thick ropes of white hit your cheeks, your chin, your neck, your chest.

You gasped at the contact, then let out a moan that made his toes curl into the carpet, licking your lips to catch anything that landed in tongue distance.

He watches it all. His eyes threaten to close but fuck no, he loves to see you get marked by him in the most primal of ways. Loves to watch his cock paint the prettiest portrait on you.

He brought his hand down to help you stroke him through it, wanting to feel your smaller fingers on his cock as he rode out his high.

Then he gave you what you love, helping you clean it up. He bent his head down and ran his tongue across your hot skin, scooping up as much of his release as he could. He grabbed you by the chin, pulling down until your mouth opened before spitting into your mouth, watching as you let it sit for a moment before closing your mouth and swallowing, your eyes heavy with arousal at his actions.

“Mmmm,” you sound, smiling dopily. You kissed at his lips, your hand still slowly stroking him as he softened.

He licked at your bottom lip before his tongue moved into your mouth and against yours, pulling you into his lap. You melted into his touch, becoming boneless flesh in his arms. He groaned at the feeling of your wet, clothed cunt pressed against his lower stomach. He hadn’t even touched you -- you hadn’t even touched yourself -- and yet you were still so slick for him.

That thought alone was enough to cause his cock to twitch, and he thanked the sex gods or whoever was in charge for gracing him with stamina tonight of all nights.

“Best,” kiss to your nose, “birthday,” kiss to your chin, “ever,” kiss to your lips.

You smiled against his lips, humming happily at his admission. This was exactly how you planned the night going. Surprise Eddie with a PlayStation and an explosive orgasm.

Then he just had to go and throw a curveball.

“I’ll be good to go in twenty minutes,” he conceded, fingers running featherlight down your bare back. “Then we’ll see what we’re gonna do about that lying mouth of yours.”

Damn it. The study groups. He remembered. Part of you hoped you’d sucked all the sense out of him, but apparently not.

“Mean,” you pouted.

Eddie’s eyes flashed wickedly, a lazy grin stretching across his face.

“Oh, I will be.”

Real talk: I'm trying to do this myself.

Not the cult thing (well, not yet.) But, you know—I turn 40 this year, the spectre of death is approaching and all that, and I have largely managed to spend those 40 years being a boring cishet WASPy nerd. I manage the tech support team at a software company and produced a podcast about tabletop roleplaying games and progressive Christianity, for fuck's sake! And yeah, over the past couple of months that urge to scream "notice me!" at the universe, to kick over your established life and try to catch up with "how things should have been"—which I previously thought was absolute bullshit made up by selfish boomers—kicked in for real.

But the thing is, I've also been doing a lot of introspection lately to try to get a handle on my ADHD. Keeping a daily diary has been a big part of this process, but not the only one. We also lost a wonderful person and friend far too soon last year. The kids keep growing up. CoVid-19 seems to have triggered celiac disease in me, and I'll have to deal with that for the rest of my life. Everything moves on without your permission, or even your input! All of that means that I've been thinking about this burgeoning midlife crisis, and my priorities, and my legacy, and all that crap. And I think I've pinned that feeling down to, simply, "I want to live and die an interesting person, living and having lived an interesting life."

Turns out that our society tries to sell you solutions to the midlife crisis that don't really provide an answer. It tells you overtly that more expensive things will satisfy you. Covertly, it tells you that you can buy back your youth and (at least for men) the sex you had or wish you had when you were young. But it's all based on competitive and continuous consumption. It is fundamentally lonely.

Instead, I'm trying very hard to simply be interesting. I'm meeting people—joining groups in my community, because I want to know people and I want to be known. I'm learning new skills, for my own sake and for the sake of others. I'm changing up my clothes, growing out my hair, adding fun accessories, and breaking out of the typical corporate/nerd-dad appearance. I'm trying to actively do, not passively be. And holy shit it is working. I've barely started down this path and I'm already having fun, feeling creative, feeling like I'm actually contributing something to the world!

I've still got a really long ways to go. It's fucking hard to break decades of habits, overcome mental hindrances and budget for major life changes (both time and money.) I'm not good at any of this yet. But I'm also not going to stop trying until I'm dead. And if I do pull this off the way I want to, you're all going to be able to come to my rad-ass funeral and swap stories about me until the sun comes up the next morning.

here’s to a better midlife crisis

A Definitive Doctor Who Rec List

Or: Every Single Fic I’ve read and loved set in the Doctor Who universe, plus a few fics I wrote to satisfy my own ego lol. A LOT of these will be various shades of Thoschei because their friends-to-lovers-to-enemies-to-fuckbuddies thing owns my soul.

Killing the Groundhog: A Controlled Outcome by x_los - The Master gets stuck in a Groundhog Day style time loop and manages to almost get sick of annoying Three. Thoschei - Three/Delgado!Master.

Five Times Lord Braxiatel Had Occasion to Regret The Doctor’s Exile Very Deeply Indeed (And One Time He Wished The Doctor Would Just Sod Off Forever) by x_los - One of the best fics exploring Brax & the Doctor and their deeply complicated, insanely bonkers relationship. Background Brax/Romana II and Thoschei, but this is mostly a brothers fic.

The Amazon by neveralarch - Jo becomes the Master’s companion. Somehow this doesn’t end as terribly as it probably should. Thoschei - Four/Delgado!Master.

Things Beyond Comprehension by kathkin - Humans have daemons, Time Lords don’t. Jaime has a lot of feelings about this

Parenting by Seiya234 - Seven is a half decent father figure???

the ballad of robert frost by babybel - Eight goes to visit Jaime, with all the complications two wars and a mind wipe implies. Eight/Jaime.

Life, After by Culumacilinte - Nine and Ace both dealing with just,,, a lot of Time War Trauma. Nine/Ace.

hybrid signal by wreckageofstars - In which the Doctor is/should be a monster, but isn’t. Mostly because they love humans so damn much.

Time v.3.0 by Teyke - An absolute classic for a reason. Timey-wimey, angsty, and an elegant solution to a myriad of canonical weirdness.

Men on the verge of a breakdown: Inside one of Florian Zeller's tormented minds

Angel Coulby and Paul McGann in rehearsal for The Forest at Hampstead Theatre - Credit: Marc Brenner

He was one half of a memorable double act in Withnail and I – now, in a very different duo, Paul McGann is one of two actors playing the same tormented man in Florian Zeller's nightmarish new play.

The French hitmaker's plays have been described as unsettling and disorienting, with a habit of wrong-footing audiences and making them question what they've just seen. He turned The Father, his play about dementia, into a film which won Anthony Hopkins an Oscar, and is completing a screen version of The Son, starring Hugh Jackman and Laura Dern.

So it's a coup for Hampstead Theatre to stage the world premiere of The Forest, in which the titular wood turns out to be metaphorical – the midlife crisis of successful surgeon Pierre, whose life unravels after an affair.

"There are differing realities within this piece. It's a challenge," agrees McGann, who alongside Toby Stephens plays out Pierre's anxiety, lies and guilt, enacting subtly different variations of the same scene with their wife (Gina McKee).

Like The Mother, which dealt with obsessive love, and The Son with a depressed child, The Forest draws on familial bonds and a mind under extreme strain. Channelling the spirit of his hero David Lynch, Zeller often uses fragmentary, non linear, blurred timelines to suggest mental anguish.

"Sometimes you go and watch a play and think 'this is an experience'," says Angel Coulby, who plays Pierre's mistress.

"This is definitely experiential. Each section has it's own back story and reality. It's almost lots of plays within one. The challenge is working out what's happening right now."

She thinks the surreal element is a physical manifestation of Pierre's dual, compartmentalised life breaking down.

"That kind of wrong footing is a metaphor for the messiness of life. If this a breakdown, Florian is interested in trying to make you feel in it, to feel the character's confusion as Pierre loses his bearings."

McGann agrees the "whole energy" of Zeller's plays is audience immersion.

"I know from watching The Father, as an audience member you are following the story, wrapped in it, making your mind up about things. It's important the audience throw themselves in. It's subjective storytelling, we see Pierre's breakdown at different stages, it sometimes repeats or appears not to be there. Part of the dynamic is about him trying to do the next thing well. When he tries to address his problems we don't know if he's dreaming the solution. The audience has to accept that different versions of Pierre come home to the wife in the same clothes in the same room, and as far as any truth goes they are free to make up their minds about what's true, what's not and whose truth is it?"

Toby Stephens and Finbar Lynch in rehearsal for The Forest - Credit: Marc Brenner

It's directed by Jonathan Kent who previously directed Zeller's The Height of The Storm, and regular translator Christopher Hampton, has captured the subtleties of a play in which characters lie about their feelings.

Coulby, who grew up in Finsbury Park and whose TV work includes The Tunnel, and Merlin, feels the spectacle of an eminent man whose life is out of control, has a feminist edge.

"This is no glowing review of men. He's mostly not facing up to anything and his decisions are all about saving his own skin. The women all stay relatively constant in their agenda, the men shift reality, which I think is a comment on masculinity as opposed to how (Zeller) may view women."

For McGann it's not just about seeing how this "clever fellow who makes speeches to government" is corrupted by his own failures and the competing forces in his life.

"For me what makes the play so poignant is it's about the love that women pour into this man and what if anything they get back."

The Forest runs at Hampstead Theatre, Eton Avenue until March 12. Get tickets here.

noah wasn’t the kind of guy to sit and think about one person too long, especially not a dude, and especially not someone like michael zane. the two of them had broken up and gotten back together one too many times for any functional or even logical relationship, but noah couldn’t stay away from him. he’d heard through the grapevine, and then from the source himself, that michael moved on. he was with someone new and apparently enjoying himself and their relationship. so naturally, the jealousy and narcissist in him just couldn’t allow that. the only thing it would take for them to work out, was for noah to be honest about who he was. and to stop being so fucked up about being gay. if he could just treat michael like a normal person, like they actually could have something rather than just a piece of ass, maybe things could be different.

tonight, noah had gone out after a long day over hearing gold digging housewives talk about how they needed their breasts done, and old men going through their midlife crisis begging for pec implants and decided he just needed to drink himself stupid. which wasn’t an uncommon occurrence given the man hated himself to the core, so anything to numb those depressing and belittling thoughts he was on board for. and one of the best numbing solutions he’d found, was in fact michael. noah had gotten mouthy at the bar and one thing led to another and now the man was sporting a busted head and a bloody nose. he figured, who better to fix him up than michael? at least that’s what his drunken self was telling him, because at the moment he didn’t care if michael was with his boyfriend, he just hoped he was home. he found himself standing in front of michael’s door around 3 in the morning and banged on the door until the man would answer - if he would anyway.

Mar - Jun 2021

Well, hello. Wow, I haven’t made an update like for the longest time. A year has passed, and frankly, there isn’t anything to write at all since my last post. It’s been the same day everyday. Who would have thought that being at home can drive you insane? Lol

Batch Flight, March 2021, Makati

I’ll start how 2021 is crowned as my worst year ever. For the most painful part, I lost my job at Philippine Airlines.. I got retrenched to be exact. The pandemic has made it really, really hard to keep everyone on board. Eventually they had to make cuts and I wasn’t senior enough to save my ass. Imagine being in the company for 5 years and this is what you get.

It was, and is still heartbreaking. Looking back, God knows how badly I wanted to be there, how I hauled my ass off everyday passing resumes, just to get that call. For it to be taken away just like that feels so surreal. My world is still crashing down. I’m back exactly where I started. I keep on thinking if this is God, listening to my midlife crisis woes and giving a solution to it. Or me being punished for being so distant and forgetting my promise (Friday is Quiapo Day)

March 2021, Parañaque

I have to move on, I have to keep going forward. I can’t stay and self-pity all day. Though I still am. With the money I got from PAL, I decided to get a laptop so I can easily look for jobs, build up my resume, learn something new or just… make something happen.

I did take up online courses though, I picked up on Social Media Marketing only to find out in the end how demanding it is and how difficult it is to find clients. My creativity too, was challenged at that point and it took me like 3-4hrs to do what my brother can do in 30 mins. Wtf

Still though, I applied through various jobs only to be rejected. By ALL of them. I might have been rusty with the interview part though, that’s why I didn’t get in. But hey, it’s a learning curve…right? I guess.

Joman and Warren’s despedida, March 2021, Shabunoki

It’s been really, really tough. Everyday, I’ve been hoping and praying for some good news but nothing has really come to help my situation. 4 mos into my unemployment and I haven’t gone very far and my money is literally running out already. Istg I don’t know how to survive the next month. It’s really stressing me out so much. So much that my mind has shut down and decided to Netflix all day. It’s so hard when I’m trying to do my best but nothing’s happening. With me being the breadwinner, I don’t how I can long I can help provide for everyone.

LF: Work, April 2021, Parañaque

I did try though like, re-selling stuff like the tamales, but it really isn’t for me. All the sales talking and stuff take up so much of my energy. Like, I’m at the point where I hate people so much so that I don’t talk to my friends anymore.

Life has really taken such a huge toll on me.

Oh god — wait. I have another story.

Boxing Pads, May 2021, PCJ

So yeah, I’m blabbing how much I hate talking to people right? Well there are days, I get pretty bored..and lonely so, I reinstalled Bumble, even Tinder too. AND MAN DID IT SUCK. Hahaha. I got ghosted yet again, and had someone the audacity to unfollow me immediately on IG after finding out I wasn’t flying anymore. Men are so pathetic. Really. This is why I prefer to be independent, they’re shit. They actually base how well they can show you off or how you can be fed to their pathetic little ego when in reality they really have nothing to offer at all. GOD I WASTED TIME i swear

Dad’s Chedeng, June 2021, Parañaque

Oh, we also sold our dad’s beloved Mercedes. It was tough. It was one of the last things that reminded me of dad. But practicality, we can’t take care of it, financially-wose with the pandemic ongoing and me losing my job. I miss my dad so much.

We lost our lola too…

Dad’s Chedeng Interior, June 2021, Parañaque

Look, I know I’ve never been really close with lola but she did turn out kinda okay afterwards. I have this regret where I wish I visited her or maybe called every now and then. But, idk, I never felt welcomed really. I believed what I wanted to believe.. still, it’s sad, she grew on to me when I lived there. I haven’t been there in 2 years, damn.

I can’t believe how a lot has happened and how much people we lost at this time. It’s frustrating and anxiety-inducing worrying who might be next.

Kalbo @ Banal na Bundol, July 2021, San Miguel, Bulacan

So now it’s July, I don’t want to jinx it but I really had a productive week. I might go more into journaling to organize my plans for the future and do something about it. I hope that this month works out for me. I need a win, I’ve been losing so much lately that I might have to give up on the world soon and just let myself go and die. Ha ha ha ha

My sanity’s at 70-80% and I don’t really know how long I can keep this up. God help me, God help us.

X, Nikki

PS here’s dogs to make me happy:

Crushed: Chapter 3 - Little Thing

Love isn’t defined by who you love, what you love, or how many people you love. Love is the purest feeling in life.

And because of that, Jimin believes he doesn’t deserve it.

And because of that, Taehyung is ready to let it slip from his finger tips.

And because of that, Yoongi decides not to choose.

And because of that, Hoseok opens his heart.

And because of that, Seokjin can breathe for the first time in his entire life.

And because of that, Namjoon allows himself to be happy.

____

OR: The one where Jin creates a groupchat with all his favorite people and there’s more teen angst than an episode of secret life of an american teenager.Groupchat fic + Narrative.

(https://archiveofourown.org/works/15028178/chapters/34838729)

Updates Thursdays and Saturdays!

Jimin had nerves that bubbled up to his throat and threatened to spill. Not only was he meeting three perfect strangers, he was also doing so without the accompaniment of his best friend. Taehyung had stopped by Jin’s dorm early in an effort to help him set up before the others arrived. Jin was a perfectionist and Taehyung didn’t mind listening to him order him around for however much time was needed.

As nice as that was, that meant that Jimin would enter the already filled dorm, alone. It shouldn’t have been such a big deal but to Jimin, he felt like he was entering uncharted territory. Especially the fact that he hadn’t received a text from Taehyung in thirty minutes which was approximately the time that the others had arrived.

Nevertheless, wine bottle in hand, Jimin pushed all of his negative thoughts down and knocked on the door.

He was instantly greeted with Jin’s welcoming face, stepping aside to let him venture further into the dorm. It had been a while since he had spent time there.

“Hi hyung,” he greeted excitedly, not wasting time to throw his arms around the other in a hug. Warm hands found their way around his waist, pulling him close.

The stood like that for a moment before a sharp clearing of a throat shook them out of their embrace. However, it wasn’t long before another pair of arms wrapped themselves around him.

“Joonie-hyung,” he mumbled against the tight sweater that wrapped the elder.

Soon he stood back to reveal the other three figures that stood there awkwardly waiting to be introduced.

“Jimin, I’d like to introduce you to-”

Jimin hadn’t realized he dropped the glass bottle until a loud shattering sound shook the entire dorm.

He stood there for a moment, mouth agape, ignoring Jin’s complaints. Even though his mouth was open, he couldn’t seem to intake any air because there they stood. Right in front of him.

Suga, J-Hope, and JK.

Jimin’s feet moved faster than Jimin could process, carrying him towards the nearest bathroom and locking himself in there.

“This can’t be real,” he mumbled to himself, eyes plastered on the door as if had offended him in some way.

He heard banging on the door, telling him to get out of the bathroom and explain himself. But once again, Jimin’s feet worked faster than his brain and he was stepping back, away from the door, only to trip on something ( or someone ) and send him flying back.

“What the- Tae?”

There sat the younger boy on the floor looking like he was having a midlife crisis.

“That would be me.”

It was in that exact moment that he realized that Taehyung and him were truly best friends. Having the same reaction towards meeting your idol and running away and locking yourself in the bathroom. Although Taehyung didn’t really lock the door.

“Um, what the fuck?”

“What the fuck, indeed.”

“So tell me that my eyes aren’t deceiving me and I did not just see Suga, J-Hope, and JK out there in the living room because Tae, I’m losing my mind.”

“I think my brain is melting,” he mumbled lowly, staring at his palms.

Jimin then took his place next to Taehyung and let his head fall on the other’s shoulders.

Reality sunk in too quickly. They were sitting there, locked in the bathroom where the men that they had grew obsessed with stood outside confused as ever. With that thought in mind, Jimin only had one solution.

“...we need to escape.”

When things got hard or confusing, Jimin ran. It was the best mechanism. If there was a murderer after you, you ran. If you didn’t file your taxes, you ran. If you set fire to Jin’s stove, you ran. It was common sense.

“I’m sure that we can sneak out through Jin-hyung’s room and make it out of here,” Jimin continued, dusting the imaginary dust off his jeans. Still, there was no word from Taehyung.

“I’ll just slip out and make my way to hyung’s room unseen. I remember seeing a window in there or something and I’m small enough that I can make it out.”

He seemed to be talking to himself so Jimin just confirmed the plan with himself before kissing Taehyung on the head.

“I’ll be back for you Tae, godspeed.” This wasn’t fucking war. But Jimin felt like it was.

He easily slipped out of the bathroom, the rest of the people in the dorm seemingly too confused about what’s going on to notice.

Jimin thought he was home free before a large hand reached out and tugged him into the nearest closet. God, Jimin thought he’d never have to be in the closet again. Yet here he was, chest flushed against another and a yelp threatening to slip his lips.

Was this how he died.

“Calm the fuck down, Jesus,” the voice was low and gravely but it was enough to ease Jimin enough.

“Um, who are you?”

“It’s Yoongi, y’know, Min Yoongi.”

And then the anxiety came rushing back because there he was, chest to chest with probably one of the two instagram models that he was obsessed with.

“Eh...instagram…” Real smooth Jimin.

“Instagram? What the fuck are you saying?”

“What’s your instagram name? Suga? J-Hope? JK?”

“Oh. It’s Suga. Wait how did you know that?”

Jimin was really going to die. It was Suga. Suga was right there in front of him. Close enough for him to lean forward and kiss and god, he was losing his mind.

And if he thought it couldn’t get worse, it did. Because in that moment, it clicked for Yoongi.

“It’s us isn’t it?”

“Eh, uh, what?”

“We’re the instagram models you’re obsessed with. Y’know, the ones that you want to give it to you up the ass?”

“Yoongi!”

“Oh come on, the cat’s out of the bag, you’re obsessed with me.”

“I- No I’m not.”

“Yeah?”

Jimin heard Yoongi shuffling a bit before a light flickered on and Jimin once again felt his breath caught in his throat.

“You sure about that,” Yoongi continued, licking his bottom lip as his eyes flickered over Jimin’s frame.

Soon, a thumb reached up to graze against his jaw and Jimin couldn’t help but gasp at the small and sudden contact.

“Jin never mentioned the fact that you’re such a pretty little thing.”

E1: To Botox or Not to Botox?

Transcript from Episode 1: To Botox or not to Botox?

Well, hello there! Welcome to the first episode of My Almost Midlife Crisis. I’m your host Jennifer Mathis and thank you for taking the time to join the conversation today. We’re going to be dipping our toes into the shallow end and we’re going to be talking about what it’s like to be expected to keep looking young, no matter what your age is.

So, I was reading this article the other day and I came across a couple fun facts. If you know me, you know I love me some fun facts so I’m going to share them with you. Did you know that the US represents one of the most valuable beauty and personal care markets in the world, especially when we’re talking about anti-aging.

In fact, in 2020, Americans spent an estimated $14.2 Billion (with a B) in anti-aging products. Now I’d love to see that comparison vs. what we spent in toilet paper in 2020, but still a big number. To put that into perspective, that’s 27% of the global market, with only 4% of the population.

At first, I was like wow! That seems like a lot, we’re way over indexing there. But then I started thinking about it more and I don’t know, it kinda makes sense to me. We get pressure every day to keep ourselves looking young. I mean, men get pressure too, but I’m not a man and I can’t fully understand that. This podcast is more about the woman’s perspective so we’re going to leave that to someone else. I’m not saying men don’t get pressure so get off my back.

I’m saying that women get so much pressure to look young. We get mixed messages. Dress your age. You’re too old to shop at Forever 21, but that outfit makes you look matronly. Go au natural, let your hair grow out but girl you better take care of those wrinkles!

It keeps me thinking, are we just wasting our time trying to turn back the clock? Is it just wishful thinking because it’s a losing battle? Also, it’s expensive! When I look back, I probably started using Anti-aging products about 10 years ago. When I think about all that money I probably have spent, did it work? Who knows! Would I have just looked the way I do now without them? Could I have gone on a couple more trips instead?

In today’s episode, we’ll focus on three areas. There’s plenty more we can talk about but today we’ll bring it down to three because we don’t have all day. Going grey, the ever-increasing skincare regime and finally the question I’ve been pondering for at least the last year To Botox, or not to Botox?

First let’s talk about going grey. For years I’ve seen a strand pop up here or there. Of course, they’re never in the back of your head where you don’t have to look at it or notice it and unless you’re doing a weird selfie of the back of your head (which why would you do that?) you would never even notice it.

Oh no no no. It’s right up front. It’s in the hair that frames your face so every time you look in the mirror, it’s a gentle reminder that your youth is slowly slipping away strand by strand.

During facetime with my friends, they’ll console me and say “Girl, it just looks like a blonde streak, don’t even worry about it. You can’t even tell.” Uh, thanks. But you’re a lying b*tch.

I appreciate it, that’s what friends are for, to build you up. Sometimes I like to believe, maybe they’re right! Maybe I’m just too hard on myself, wouldn’t be the first time. Maybe if I keep telling myself it looks like blonde, I’ll actually believe it. But then I took another selfie today for this podcast and I’m going to be posting it later and I’m kidding myself. It’s grey.

The hypocrisy that men are considered “silver foxes” and women have to “learn to love the transition”. I saw that written the other day. I know you can’t see me, but there were some aggressive air quotes happening there. I keep seeing these articles profiling women that were “brave to embrace their grey”. Brave? Is that what it takes to go grey? Am I the only one that finds the word grey almost insulting to be described as something as simple as going grey? Brave is something like when you go into battle as a soldier or when you’re protesting human rights. It’s not reserved for things like getting grey hair.

But on the flip side, I see some women that are rocking the grey. I mean, big shout out to Diane Keaton. She is adorable! If I can look anything like her at that age, I would be so happy!

It’s not just the women I look up to that are serving up some serious chicness as I’m now labeling them “grey-haired divas”. No no no. It’s now GenZers. Or as I like to call them “the kids” or “the youngens”. I’m sorry if you’re a GenZer and that offends you but as an older Millennial, that’s how it feels. GenZers are purposefully dying their hair grey. Oh no, I wish I was kidding but I’m not.

For those of you that don’t know me, I should digress slightly, I swear it will be quick, to talk about the two new obsessions 2020 has given me. Some are healthy like Peloton.

I was actually having a conversation with one of my Peloton friends the other day, and yes I know how lame that sounds, and it reminds me of every conversation you have around your favorite shows on an OTT platform. Oh hey girl, you should check out Bridgeton, yeah that was really good did you see My Queens Gambit, oh yeah did you see The Outsider on HBO? That circular conversation is the exact same conversation if you have a Peloton except replace shows with workouts and instructors. I’m sure for those people that don’t have Peloton, it’s the most annoying conversation to listen to, but whateves. Anyway...

That’s a healthy obsession, maybe a less healthy obsession (not going to say unhealthy) would be TikTok. I can spend hours on that app. I am totally one of those people that will also text you TikToks. And you know what? Side note: If I text you a TikTok it’s because I watched a video and it made me think of you and I think you would enjoy this. I’m sending this a gift of 15-20 seconds of enjoyment that I thought you would like. So you’re welcome. and maybe you should watch the TikToks that I sent you because I thought of you for it and you can see why I thought of you. And this note is specifically for my fiancé because I know for a fact that he doesn’t watch the TikToks I send him. But I’m going to keep doing it.

So it’s pretty much where I learn about new music and I’m keeping up with the trends. I’m hanging with the youngens and I kinda get what’s going on. While I know that sounds SUPER lame, it’s the truth. So while I can probably do a whole episode on TikTok vs. when I was that age, we’re gonna stick to the grey-haired one for now and maybe I’ll make another episode of that later.

I’ve noticed a trend where they are choosing to dye their hair grey. As an older Millennial I cannot imagine choosing to be grey in my early 20′s! I don’t even want to be grey now, let alone choosing to be at 22? Are you crazy? Grey hair when I was that age was a signal of old age. My Grandma had grey hair but there was no way in hell my mom would have kept her grey hair. I don’t even know if she has grey hair, she’s been dying her hair for as long as I can remember. Who knows what color her hair is at this point? But I can tell you one thing, if there was grey, no way would it be showing.

To actually want to have your hair grey seems insane to me. But at the same time, just to play devil’s advocate, maybe we should be (dare I say it) thanking them. In a way, aren’t they just taking away the power grey hair holds on us? If a 22yo female can have grey hair, then who gives a sh*t if a 40 or 50yo has grey hair? Doesn’t it just become mainstream at that point?

Net/Net, my take on grey hair - turning grey feels weird to me. It’s almost this physical signal that I’m slowly transitioning to a new chapter in my life and honestly? I don’t know how I feel about that. In a way, I could be optimistic. I could be one of those people that say “I’m older and wiser now. These grey streaks are a signal that I’ve learned some sh*t and I should wear it with pride.” Yeah I guess. But let’s be honest, I’m also saying NO! I’d like to think I could pull off a chic grey, but wrinkles? That’s a whole other story. Those a**holes keep creeping up and I am NOT OK with it. But I’m actually really struggling with what is the right approach.

That leads me to the next topic. Skincare and the daily war against wrinkles. If you’re like me, the spending on your anti-aging regimen and my time spent getting ready for bed or in the morning increase. I am constantly googling ways to stop the clock and reading articles about recommended products or natural remedies, which...

You have to laugh when we talk about anti-aging natural remedies. That phrase shouldn’t even be allowed to be written. It is the opposite of natural to try to reverse what nature is doing. That is the opposite. You know what a natural remedy is? A time machine. And good luck getting one of those because Costco has been sold out for years.

As a marketer, I’m an easy target. I’m the target where when my clients ask “how do we find the right target?”, well if you have an anti-aging product, we’re super obvious. We just hold these massive red flags because our digital footprints are screaming that we are desperate to find solutions. Please sell something to me and I have money to spend. Currently, I am an avid sunscreen user, thanks to a couple of years ago. If I had to guess why I got a little bit of skin cancer, maybe it was partially due to the free tanning bed that was in my apartment complex when I was in college in Florida. Yeah, just to recap that, there was a free tanning bed in the Sunshine State because you can’t just get the natural, free sun and tan that God created, we have to go into a machine and just speed up the process of cancer. So I took total advantage of that and then here I am, 20 years later, having issues with skin cancer. So thanks for that.

My current regimen is sunscreen, a sh*t-ton of moisturizer, I currently use skin oil from Scratch Goods which if you haven’t tried it, it’s a local company and they make amazing all natural products. Oh, look at that! There’s a natural remedy! Actually thinking about it, it’s funny I use face oil now, I remember when I was a kid and just starting to needing to wash my face so I don’t get zits. I used to use Neutrogena cleanser – no, not Neutrogena, Noxzema! Noxzema where it tears through your skin so that basically nothing could live, and then I follow that up with Oil of Olay. Remember when it used to be called Oil of Olay? Yougens if you’re listening to this show you probably don’t know what I’m talking about because it’s just called Olay now. The got rid of the oil. I’m sure there’s some consumer insight that said women don’t want to put oil on their face. Well ironic, maybe you should now change the name back because putting oil on your face is back in style.

So I use that, I use anti-aging cream, haven’t tried a serum yet and I have a prescription for Retinol so I can use the hard-core stuff (maybe going back to my Noxzema days) and I put collagen in my coffee every morning. I mean, Jesus Christ. Even just naming all of that is just…kind of ridiculous.

I think I look pretty good for my age, this is me based on I see others online or on TV and I think they’re 35? They look like they’re almost 50! Then of course I get the slight panic moment of wait, do I look like that? Do I think I look young but actually I don’t? Is this like when I was in college and I was under 21 and I was using that fake ID for some 26yo and I was like “I could totally pass for her” which as I got older I’m like, oh girl, you were not passing for that, they just didn’t care and they let you in.

Another fabulous gift from 2020, more fine lines around my eyes. So I’ve been looking at – should I be upping my game? Is what I’m doing currently not enough? I feel like I’m the only one of my friends that has not had a single pinch of Botox in my face. I don’t know, it scares me. Botox seriously scares me. One, it’s this signal or symbol that the over-the-counter stuff is no longer working and you’re starting to lose the battle. Your turning a corner. But also, I hate needles. I can’t even look at needles; I have to look the other way when they’re taking blood. And you’re putting poison into your face, like actual poison. But listen I’m not totally against it.

A lot of my friends look great. It’s clearly working for them. But it scares me because once you start it, you can’t stop. That’s it. You’ve now turned this corner. You’ve made this decision and you have to live with it. Now you’re on that path. It kind of reminds me of when I was a kid and I really wanted to shave my legs because I had long, hairy legs. I had a little bit of an older friend, Tricia if you’re listening, I will never forget, we had a sleepover one night, we shaved our legs and our parents noticed and we were in massive trouble. But my mom was right, you shave your legs and that’s it! Moving forward you have to continue so if that is what Botox is, am I ready to start that journey right now?

Also when I look around, while my friends look great, I’ve seen some real, scary, warning stories. And by real, scary, warning stories, I mean reality TV. I mean, where I find the time to watch as much reality TV as I do should be considered the eighth wonder of the world. I’m not a lazy person. I don’t just sit around and watch TV all day. Even in quarantine, I’m working out, I’m trying to write an outline of a book, I’m actually working and doing my job and now I’m apparently starting a podcast. I’m not like a lazy person. But somehow, I’m able to, very efficiently, watch a lot of reality TV and one of my favorite franchises is The Real Housewives.

Most of these women have been surgically altered, let’s not even lie to ourselves. Very little of them, if any of them at this point, are au natural. And some pull it off real well like Dorit from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills? I mean, she’s clearly had work done but I’m sorry, she’s hot. If I was into women, I mean she’s gorgeous. Cheers to you. This next statement has nothing to do with you. You’re doing a great job. Whoever your doctor is, keep going and maybe send him my way.

But others scare the sh*t outta me. I’m not going to name names because at the end of the dday these are real people and we have to remember that. I truly believe you are an a**hole if you call out people and talk sh*t about their appearance in public. That is public bullying someone. I know they’re on reality TV. I know you think you can say whatever you want. But keep your snarky comments to your living room, they don’t need to be out there in public. But watching the transformations from season to season are honestly worrisome as I look forward to is this my new reality. I really hope they get some kind of compensation for the damage their doctor has done because Girl, you better go get your refund. There is a fine line between looking younger and taking it too far and starting to look deformed.

Basically, when it comes to looking younger, to wrap up today’s conversation, and dealing with the pressure from outside sources, I just really think you gotta do you. I think the older I get, the more I realize as long as you are ok with yourself, who the f*ck cares what others think. Usually people’s opinions of you have way more to do with themselves and their sh*t they gotta work through. What makes you feel sexy? What makes you feel beautiful? If you can answer that, you’ll give yourself less wrinkles from stressing out about it and you’re going to save yourself some cash. Or maybe not. I don’t know. Your choice. You do you.

Well sadly that ends our time for today. I just want to say I know your time is valuable and I really appreciate you listening to this podcast. I had so much fun recording it. I can’t believe episode one is done already! I wish I could just pop open a bottle of champagne but of course I’m doing dry January (which I feel like is a really bad decision). But it’s been so much fun! I’m new to this. This is literally the second recording I have ever made so your feedback is also appreciated. I’m a big girl, I can handle constructive criticism. Don’t be a jerk, but if you have any comments or thoughts please send them over. And if you have any topics you’d like me to discuss as well, send those over! I would love to hear them! You can read the transcript on Tumblr under My Almost Midlife Crisis, you can find me on Instagram at explorelikeagirl or on Twitter @AlmostMidlife.

Thanks again and until next time!
