Ladies, does a “library of sighs” sound like something you developed by the time you turn 35? The world has a way of beating women down, and writer Anne Thériault is definitely feeling it.
Thériault took to Twitter with a list of traits she believes women should have by the age of 35.
By the age of 35, every woman should:
– be walking around the house saying, “Why is every single light on? Do I look like I’m made of money? Open a curtain for once, will you?”
– wonder aloud why this room that she just tidied is messy again
– have developed a library of sighs— Anne Thériault (@anne_theriault) April 6, 2019
The ladies of twitter related HARD to this, and they offered up the additional traits they’ve developed through the years.
-go to CVS & decide to go aisle by aisle with the resolution: “if I don’t spend over $100 on beauty products I wasn’t even looking for, I will resign as a woman.”
-hangdry all of my clothing so I never have to go shopping again
-“drinking wine” is just my whole personality— Maria Heinegg (@MariaHeinegg) April 7, 2019
-think back like a love lost to all the sunscreen I should have been wearing in my teens and twenties and try to emotionally prepare to look like the crypt keeper
-thinks “I would go out to twerk in club if I could go at like 4pm”
-set books by bed. never read books.— Maria Heinegg (@MariaHeinegg) April 7, 2019
-don’t even bother packing workout clothes for vacation
-comfortably accepts that no man will ever make me feel as a good as the feeling of petting an small, fat dog that’s thrilled to see me
-watching TV in my hotel room is my favorite part of traveling— Maria Heinegg (@MariaHeinegg) April 7, 2019
I'd like to add "aggressively wiping counters"

In addition I mutter “what the actual hell?” 300 times a day under my breath and feel this another 300… pic.twitter.com/ITDou6R8gC

Ain’t this the truth.
I’d like to submit: ‘for fuck’s sake!’ to this list.

If, by the age of 35, you are not having animated one sided conversations with yourself, better check your birth certificate just to be sure you got your age right.
