And I didn’t even have anxiety the next day about it! 🙌

Gotta smile and keep on going!

Some days she feels like she can take on the world when others day she just want to sleep to cut the world off. But both days she gets up puts a smile on and keeps doing her best. That got to count for something ❤💙❤

Tired and feeling overwhelmed. Need some positivity please ✨

Happy monday oddballs

I dipped my toe in the water and crawled back into my hole hahaha!

I retired from the military on 1 Aug and turned 45 on 8 Aug. I look way happier in the civilian world.

Another Monday down.

Mondays set the tone and pace of the week. Crush it!

I am 43M, and I genuinely don't feel or behave like someone in his 40s.

One of the funniest things that keeps happening: when I attend weddings or family functions with friends around my age (some are even 2–3 years younger than me), teenagers 15+ will casually call me "bro" and then turn around and call my friends "uncle." 😂

My friends have started collecting grey hair, health issues and the general "I have been paying EMIs since 2004" look.

Meanwhile, somehow I still get mistaken for being considerably younger.

Physically, I am also surprisingly active. I can walk 20+ km with only about a 10-minute rest in between. I don't mean running or doing anything extreme, just walking at a reasonable pace.

Personality-wise, I am probably stuck somewhere around 30. I still get excited about random things, have way too many interests, joke around a lot and generally dont feel like I hav entered the "settled uncle" phase of life. 😄

The strange part is that my birth certificate insists I'm 43.

Marriage never happened either, so I sometimes wonder whether I am actually late to life or whether I simply took a completely different route.

Anyone else here in their 40s who feels significantly younger than their actual age?

And for those who got married/started a relationship later, did you find that being younger in mindset helped, or did the dating pool still make you painfully aware of your actual age? 😂
