Well, as a women now in her 40s, I love life and I just don't care what people think about me anymore. I say and do what I want. I don't need a second, third, and fourth opinion.
I giggled in my 20s and early 30's. I laugh now. Really, Really laugh. I love companionship but I don't want to be crowded and smothered. Thank goodness I've found a love that appreciates my independence.
Now, I shop because I want to and not because I need to feel better about myself. I dance because my soul calls for it and not because I want to look good or need attention.
I make things even if those things don't make me money because I discovered as my fourth decade finally bloom, I was born rich.
Old, aging, please...I'm just getting warmed up.
