Take it from an old hen that's just turned 61.. It doesen't get any better.
Being an adult is not sexy like on the TV or interwebs.. it's work and bouts of tedium.
Pro tip: Do NOT hold your own life up aganst the things you see elsewhere - most of it is fiction that is unattainable and it'll make you insane trying to reach for it.
Find your own jams and be the best at your own dance.
THAT is attainable and the road to happiness and satisfaction.
I’m really looking forward to shirking the notion of night and day.
When my kid leaves the house it’s gonna get so so so weird up in here.
The one thing I'll say is to be careful of that.
I'm in the no-sleep mode because of weird hormonal changes (my grandmother suffered the same) and it can make you really sick. It's critical to get enough sleep as you age - it really does keep the brain healthy and shit slows inside one's head - BIG TIME - by the mid-50's.
I watched my grandmother's mental decline accelerate the last year she was alive as she all but stopped getting a good night's sleep.
I still intend to get sleep, I just am going to stop fighting the battle of waking up at a certain time and waiting for an acceptable time.
If anything this means I’m gonna be training to hibernate rather than becoming an insomniac.
