I have friends and still socialize regularly, but less than I used to and I also like that there is less of the forced socialization of parenting young kids, all the small talk on playgrounds and at school events and during playdates. I'm so much happier to spend that time doing something I enjoy (exercise class, wandering through an antique shop, reading a book in a cafe) and not having to perform for anyone else.

I think I was built for middle-age. It's so freeing. This is the life I've always wanted.
