There are a lot of things that aren’t amazing about midlife, but we actually think this stage of life kicks ass. Here are 10 things we love about being middle aged:
We give a fuck about less. We’ve let go of some things and that brings us joy. We’ve seen some shit. We’ve lived enough life to know that “this too shall pass”.We listen to our intuition. More focus on and comfort with our own knowing. We aren’t for everyone and that’s ok. Less people-pleasing and living small. We’ve been around long enough to have some really deep relationships.We are intentional about where we put our energy. We don’t have to do shit that we don’t want to do any more. No more FOMO. More freedom and adventure. Less have-to’s and more want-to’s. We can laugh at ourselves and not take everything so seriously. Our kids are a lot of fun as they get older. There’s a lot of joy in watching them grow into who they are going to be.
