Hello & welcome
Why “40 what next”?
Not that long ago I hit the infamous 40. At first, it felt like nothing different, but as time went on, I started to see changes and feel things that I never felt before. All of a sudden I realised that I have some new wrinkles, that my eyesight is getting worse..quickly, and that the time is not as kind to me as it used to be.
I lost a few people dear to me, and that put a completely different perspective on the “halfway there” age that I am in.
As any woman of today’s reality, I went on the web looking for a website or a blog that talks about everyday issues for someone my age, and guess what… I couldn’t find anything. Ok, you might say I didn’t look well enough…possibly, but nothing I came across worked.
I found many blogs and vlogs about fashion, makeup and children… but nothing about how it feels inside. How to deal with this getting older phenomena and how do other people deal with it?
Of course, I am quite aware, I am not unique or alone in this, but it seems people don’t feel like sharing. Nobody seems to want to describe what it feels like, what it means for them and what to do with it. Hence here I am.
Is this Waste of time
Have you ever felt like the time is slipping through your fingers? And the feeling is it getting stronger the older you get? I for sure feel like that. I feel like the days are passing one by one, weeks and months are flying and I am actually not moving at all. I am achieving barely anything. Do you know that feeling? Is it just a feeling or is it the reality?
It is hard to Find My “thing” in life
Do you sometimes feel like you are inadequate? Like you just average and nothing you do makes much of a difference? I know that’s probably a sign of the middle age crisis, but seriously, is this what I’m supposed to feel like? What is my "thing" in life?
Risk – walking a tightrope above the chasm of doubt
I am pretty used to taking certain types of risks. I made a few risky decisions in my life. Some of it paid off, some if it didn't, but I always learned something from these experiences.
