It's funny when I write that in my diary; it makes me cringe. But that's the best part about documenting my life. It's all about the things I love and the parts of aging that I genuinely don't understand.
Being a handbag maker is my dream as an artist, and as an artist, most times, I'm on a tangent to learn something new. But lately, I've been on a high run of doing 900 things at one time.
Over the last few months, I was beginning to feel a sense of running out of time. No matter how early I rise or how late I go to bed, I can never get everything I set out to do for that day done.
And at the end of the day, I am only overworking myself. Here's the thing: having a midlife crisis moment or moments is normal. I am screaming (IT IS NORMAL).
I am finding these feelings I am having are all normal. The sooner I began to embrace those feelings, the more I have been able to enjoy life.
Now that I have a clear understanding of being in a midlife crisis, I better understand the reason why I want to be here, do that, and go everywhere. It's like a reward, and it's enjoyable.
Here's the thing: most people that are over the age of 50 kids are grown, everyone works, and now you're not catering to others like you once did when younger. So, for me, it is a feeling of, wow, I have so much time on my hands. Let me venture.
And it feels so good to be free with time to do those things for me! This diary is all about me exploring and learning about my new age. It was scary at first, but now I am learning so much about things I can do in life. Whether I am in a midlife crisis or not, I am excited about documenting this once-in-a-lifetime journey.
At this point in life, it doesn't matter what age you are. Get up, get out, and live.
Here's To Living Beyond Existing!
