"I am not one of the people who has been clear or sure of much in life..." This resonated with me so deeply. As an "elder millennial" with seemingly so many time-bound choices to make and realizing that so many different possibilities appeal to me(always have), I've finally started to wholly embrace my whimsy and use it to fuel me into the direction of my deepest desires. Thanks for this post! It was ray of light in my day. AND a big middle finger to the ads!

Sometimes, you just have to get it out. I'm reminded of the quote by Brian Andreas "There are some days when no matter what I say it feels like I'm far away in another country and whoever is doing the translating has had far too much to drink." ;0)

I can't blame the moon, I've been raging for weeks but the full moon has bought with it the fire to change what is within my power to change and to to make that encompass as much as I can!

I enjoyed reading this - and with you all the way. I’m almost 39 and fed up of the perimenopause ads too!

Yes to all of this, and especially this bit: "most days I sit and wonder what in the clusterf*ck is this thing called life?! Like, what is actually going on here?" - spot on! I am so over targeted IG ads too.

Yes to all of this. I’m turning 37 this month and targeted ads that make an assumption of where I should be and what I should want enrage me too. Solidarity!

I would take perimenopause right now...all I get are adverts for bladder control and Tena pads!! 😆

Oh Sasha. Hope Tuesday and a starting-to-wane moon have you feeling chirpier.

Ah that pesky full moon! It always shows us the things we need to pay attention to... even when we don’t want to! I don’t tend to get them much anymore because I don’t think the algorithm knows what to think of me but I went through a phase of getting all the ovulation and pregnancy test ads. Because obviously at 30 years old I should be having babies. 🙄
