Well, no promises. 51 could be the top of the hill everyone says you get over, I dunno yet ;)
No bullshit though, even with the bad things that I went through in my late thirties and early forties, the age part of my forties was awesome. It’s this wonderful balance of being automatically assumed to be a grown ass adult in any given situation until you prove otherwise, but also being allowed to indulge in hobbies without attention.
And, for me, that’s when I hit peak confidence and self awareness.
But, I’m enjoying the hell out of fifty so far. It’s like I hit a half century, and a lot of the bullshit of the world doesn’t bother me as much. Something comes up, and my first thought is “well, after a half century of this kind of bullshit, this is nothing”. It’s like magic lol.
Good to hear that the early 40s are not that bad. I’m 31 now and that ensures me I have at least 20 more good years.
