Fuck! What a refreshing read. I love an article with a good fuck count.
I swear lots in my writing and often try it to hold back on the cussing, then realise it’s my authentic voice so fuck it. Fuck.
Anyway. I love what you’ve written. Let me explain. I turned 40 a couple of years ago and I definitely went through what some would call a midlife crisis. I would call it a midlife awakening.
Suddenly I wanted to listen to me, my heart, my inner voice, and I realised the more I didn’t do that, the more I was wasting my time.
This article feels wise. And authentic. And genuine. I can feel you’ve had the same sort of realisations. Perhaps way before me. Anyway. Thanks for writing. It really struck a chord.
