The 40s conundrum

The 40s are so busy when career and child-rearing peaks collide and we start seeing the outlines of what we will look like when we are 70. It is the time to realize we won't fit back into those trousers kept aside on the expectation that you will soon lose weight.

Eight hours of continuous sleep is life's greatest luxury and being emotional is pointless. We start accepting mortality is no longer an abstract notion. We start realizing that we actually managed to learn and grow a bit and start accepting we know much less and understand the humility of ignorance.
