[quote=Anonymous]I will be turning 55 years OLD (!) 👵🏼 next month & am dreading it.

Well….. not really.
Though not looking forward to it either.
Lol.

Youth really is fleeting.
I would never want to go back to 18-25 though!!
Sure I miss the carefree years, knowing that I had my entire adult life ahead of me + the possibilities of what my life would become were endless!!
My metabolism was great & I never thought twice after eating five slices of pizza!!

However I love what aging has given me too.
I now feel heard when I speak.
Meaning people tend to listen to me more when I talk and take what I say seriously vs. when I was younger.

Also so cliche &gt;&gt; but I also no longer care about changing my behavior or thoughts to suit other people.
It is easier to accept at this stage of my life if I offend someone or if people do not like me.

In other words, it really is so freeing to no longer need validation from other people.
Self-acceptance is something that took many years to achieve and I definitely was nowhere near where I am today looking back 30+ years ago![/quote]
