The sooner the better

 From Ladies Pass it On

(starts out with middle finger references, so left that out)

By 40...(see above)
By 50...(see above)
By 60...(see above) and not a single care is given anymore.

I mean, we care about our family, our friends and our
passions.
We care about the environment.
We care about equality and living in peace.
But we don't care about "fitting in" and we don't care
about what people think of us.
Not anymore.
Too many years were wasted on that. 

We certainly don't care to stay quiet, or bite our tongues,
we haven't wasted all these life lessons to play dumb
when the situation calls for our wisdom.

Neither do we care if our waistline is the acceptable size
or if our thighs are toned and unblemished.
We have wrinkles, we have stretch marks, we have war
wounds, warts and all.
And we are rocking each and every one of them in all 
their glory.

You see, there comes a time in every woman's life where
you realise that this is it.
This is the time to be alive.
To live without restriction or oppression.

To break free of the chains society binds us with and
tear loose.
This is our time to be completely and totally who we
were supposed to be all along.

The sooner you get there, the better.

Life waits for no woman.
