‘Beauty sleep’ was a figure of speech until 30 made it literal

In my 20s, I could pull two all-nighters in a row, and all it took was some concealer to erase the evidence. No one was the wiser.

I can’t get away with that now that I’m 30. My face gets sunken, my eyes droop, and I genuinely look like a different person, to the point where I’m embarrassed to see people.

Turns out “beauty sleep” was never just a saying. My 20s were just covering for me, and now the bill is due. 😭😢
