You know when one day you think to yourself "I'm not sure this is still me" but you've carried it on out of habit.

Clothes, hairstyles, hobbies, people or your ability to stay out until 4am and still make it into work.

I've been considering retiring my tounge piercing. Younger me would be horrified at the idea. Current me is mainly worried about accidentally swallowing it with a cup of tea.

I’ve retired a few things.

Drinking to get d*unk. I still like the occasional drink but that’s for pleasure.

Running. After running ultras I just haven’t got the time or motivation to run 80+ miles a week.

I still need to work on retiring spending money frivolously 😂

I’ve had mine for 30 years now. I forget it’s there. It surprises me when someone mentions it.

I’ve retired my brain, or should I say, it’s retired itself. Since menopause it’s totally gone out of left field.

Another for recreational sports. I don't have the time anymore. I do love the social aspect of it too. I mostly see people at weddings, funerals or a match of some kind. Everyone is so busy these days. Or maybe that's what life is like as an adult?

I prefer the gym. Recovery after football is different now. I used to play 4 days a week and gym 4 days a week. I can't dedicate that kind of time to it now.

I used to wear eyeshadow everyday but that's been retired and only used for evenings out. I have also retired lipstick, I now much prefer a neutral gloss.

I've retired styling my hair everyday, in favour of a messy up do most days. I now enjoy making an effort when we go out.

By making minor changes to my beauty routine I have embraced a more natural makeup & hair look during the day, which means a little extra time in bed.
