As an 80s kid, hitting 40 was the best thing that ever happened to me. Shit that used to matter suddenly doesn't, like you flipped a lightswitch. You get new superpowers, and they're all bitchy. I recommend it to everyone.
I remember a survey done years ago that people say 30s and 40s are the best years of their lives.
Seriously, I'm 41 and over the last year I've slowed slipped into fuck it mode. Don't get me wrong, I still have plenty of things I care about, but so many little things I've just stopped caring about and my life is so much more relaxed because of it. It's amazing what hitting 40 can do to your mindset.
Do you have examples of things you don't pay as much mind to anymore? I am having a hard time picturing that from just the two comments.
Or you can just smoke weed and drop acid in your 20s like I did, and get over a decade's head start on not giving a fuck. By age 30 I was no longer worried about every single thing; the substances I took gave me some perspective about how little everything in my life matters in the grand scheme of things.
Girl, yes!!
