Musings on middle age
Posted: November 4th, 2022, 2:33 pm
This is just another of my random musing posts, nothing is actually wrong
I just really noticed recently that I'm seeing some real stereotypes of middle age around me. I had always perceived mid life crises as being possibly made up but seeing a lot of ..not out of character behaviour, but stuff that almost seems it came from a rubbish sit com.
I am 46, my main issue is laziness but I have learned to forgive myself . However, interestingly, having felt like a target of criticism for much of my life, due to not wanting marriage and children, i'm finding many crises ridden folk are telling me I made the right choice.
I do agree I did (for me) but you can't say that to people who are genuinely regretting theirs.
Ironically, post lockdown, I am so friendless, I am actually pondering the merits of a boyfriend but I might just be having a mad half hour so I've not said it to anyone. Really a cleaner might be a better investment! I would like to delegate to someone....on account of being lazy I guess.
Perhaps it's like the 7 year itch and the people I'm referencing are reaching an age where they want something else...just as long as it's a change. I don't want to say all of what's happened just this week as I'm always worried if I'll bump into someone
I know on here. But there's been four people I work with making some quite shocking statements/decisions this week.
I think the fact that people have no filter is also weird. Telling me you came out as bisexual is fine, but for all I know, you might have been bi all along and I'm not your wife so why are you telling me? (And I bet she wishes she knew before and no, I am not surprised your kids are taking it badly, now, can we move on and talk about this work we are doing....).
Roll on the weekend!
