A woman aged 37 who thought her life was a failure because she wasn’t where she wanted to be in life at her age sent a DM.
She felt miserable, trapped. Thought she couldn’t start over because she was too old & a mother of 4. Her message was moving. I felt for her not only because of the great sadness she was expressing, but also because I am a #latebloomer
I sent her some journaled thoughts I wrote a while back on aging & things we should “normalize” in hopes of giving her some inspiration. I wrote these in a “magic dark” period where I was, frankly, pissed off at life, lost & confused.
Enjoy.
How bout some things to normalize…
Instead of bragging about your drinking skills like it’s something impressive, how bout we normalize impressing others by savoring the experience, not getting wasted, being present with your feelings & improving your life?
Not settling, high vibes, & good energy as our norm.
Falling in love with yourself.
Telling people you love them. Hugging, letting them linger. Whatever, make it weird
Not bashing exes, other people, or ideals different than yours. How bout the Golden Rule?
Not doing rules, but doing what feels right. Leading with your heart & your gut. Anything done from a place of love & positive energy isn’t wrong.
Living by the Four Agreements: Be Impeccable With Your Word. Don’t Take Anything Personally. Don’t Make Assumptions. Always Do Your Best.
But seriously.
Normalize finding love in your 40’s & beyond. Normalize transformation & change, chasing new dreams at any age. Normalize finding yourself only to get lost again & find yourself again & being ok with it. Normalize not having a timeline yet scripting & having faith in the life & body you desire. Knowing the Universe will take care of the How.
Life doesn’t end at 25. 40 isn’t old. Aging is a privilege & life can start whenever we say it does.
Cheers to all my fellow late bloomers!
Happy Easter from one of my sanctuaries to yours
