I turned 40 last month and although I feel I am getting old it’s mostly because I have not married or have kids by now and most of my peers have…so in that sense it feels incomplete.
My relationship of 2 years + that I thought was going to end in marriage also ended recently so that was an additional bummer 🙁 Starting all over with the dating scene at my age seems a bit scary.. as it seems like a crapload of work to filter through all the BS that one has to go through with dating.
In any case, my dad turned 80 recently and he is in peak health, enjoys life etc. My Uncle is even older at 87 and is still having a good old time, he still travels and has a beer or two on occasion…so there is hope 🙂 My grandmother is 93 and although a bit frail is still walking around.
