I will be turning 40 in August. I plan to just hang with a few close friends and keep it chill. I CANNOT believe I am turning 40. 🤯 What was your experience like turning the big 4.0.? Stories/insights/advice/suggestions on this milestone ❤️
I turned 40 in June. I took myself to the planet of the apes movie. Then I went and got some baklava and Italian food. I spent the rest of the day chilling with my dogs watching Netflix.
Honestly, I am still grieving. For me it was a milestone that means that I am less likely to have the family I have been dreaming of since I was like 22. My last relationship ended a couple months ago, and I have no prospects. I am also having fertility issues. I am having surgery for that in a few months, which is ironic considering that I don't have anyone to have a baby with, and I may not within this rapidly closing window.
It is hard for me to come to terms with the fact that life is unfair, that it doesn't matter if you work hard or try your best or make good decisions. It rains on everybody.
I guess, you try to be grateful for the flowers that grow because of the rain, grateful for the shade and the breeze, grateful for the opportunities to dance in and in spite of said rain.
