Why has this post made me very sad now?
I completely agree, I think she is such a gorgeous woman, she has always been. And in my opinion, she has a more natural beauty than Jennifer Aniston, especially if you look at photos of them that were taken when they were teenagers/in their early 20s. She doesn’t need to do anything to herself, she could wear a garbage bag and still look radiant because she was just born with this ‘quality’.
And exactly, we all age and so it’s obvious that we change, that is also what makes me so mad when I read posts about the Friends cast that just go “Oh God, s/he looks so old!!”. Duh, what do you expect to happen when 10 years pass?!
Yes, it is also obvious that she’s had some things done, though I have to admit that I’ve never really paid any attention specifically to her lips. I can’t really describe what it is either, but she just looks different.
I think your phrase of “something is missing” fits here; that something that made her just radiant seems to be gone. I can’t grasp it either, but I guess that is also why I always tag posts of her as "I miss old CC".
It is her own body and her own decision, but I hope she can age gracefully and find whatever has gone missing again.
