MUSINGS OF A FORTY SOMETHING WOMAN

40 SOMETHING & UNAPOLOGETIC

Pont Alexandre III, Paris. August 2022

WHEN I TURNED 40, I STOPPED GIVING A DAMN. I REALISED THAT HALF THE STUFF I PREOCCUPIED MY MIND WITH REALLY DIDN'T EXIST, AND I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE THOUGHT OR SAID ABOUT ME. I MADE MYSELF A PRIORITY, AND STARTED TO DO THINGS TO PLEASE ME. I REALISED THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY ALL I REALLY HAD WAS ME. NO ONE HELPED ME TO BECOME THE WOMAN THAT I AM TODAY, SO DIDN'T OWE ANYBODY ANYTHING. ONCE I STARTED TO THINK LIKE THIS I BECAME HAPPIER AND STARTED TO SOAR.

AGING WITH ATTITUDE

Place de Concorde, Paris. September 2022

BECOMING 40 IS REALLY SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE TO OWN. THERE'S SO MUCH STIGMA SURROUNDING AGING THAT IT CAN BE HARD FOR SOME PEOPLE TO ADJUST. THE DAY I TURNED 40 WAS JUST LIKE ANY OTHER DAY. I SAID TO MYSELF, "WELL DAMMIT, YOU'RE ACTUALLY HERE! MIGHT AS WELL ENJOY IT". AND FROM THAT DAY FORWARD I BEGAN TO OWN IT LIKE A BADGE OF HONOR, WITH PRIDE AND A WHOLE LOT OF ATTITUDE.

MY THOUGHTS ON AGING

Musée du Louvre, Paris. September 2022

THE WORD MIDLIFE NEVER SAT WELL WITH ME. THERE ARE SO MANY NEGATIVE CONNOTATIONS SURROUNDING THIS WORD. IT'S AS IF TO SAY, YOU'RE NEARING THE END OF THE ROAD AND ARE NEARING DEATH. JUST LIKE A YELLOW CAUTION SIGN DISPLAYED ON THE ROADSIDE FOR EVERYONE TO SEE.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS MIDLIFE, ONLY ONE LIFE. WE WERE BORN WITH ONE LIFE, FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. SO THERE REALLY IS NO NEED TO MAKE DISTINCTIONS. AND I HAVE CONSCIOUSLY DECIDED TO LIVE THAT LIFE TO THE FULLEST DESPITE WHATEVER ANYONE HAS TO SAY ABOUT WHERE I AM ON THIS JOURNEY.
