Over the next three episodes, I’m spending some time with what it actually feels like to grow older as a woman—inside the body, inside friendships, and inside desire. These aren’t instructions or lessons; they’re stories from the interior: what almost 70 feels like from the inside, what happens to the friendships that don’t come with you, and what it means to still have a living, wanting body after everything you’ve survived. Take what lands, leave what doesn’t.
