I’m turning 40 this year. While I don’t want a mid life crisis (although getting a bike or sports car again do sound nice…), I do look forward to when I’ll just not give a f*ck. Worrying what others think is incredibly draining.

Gosh 40 is not old!! And I only worry of what others think when that “other” is a good friend, or my parter.
