Why do they call it the naughty forties?
Well, if you are anything like me, it is probably because when you reach your forties, you are more aware of just what you want and how and when you want it.
It took me this long to be brave, to be honest. To ask for what I like. To be aware of what makes my body sing. What causes my soul to soar.
And now, that I have reached this new chapter in my life? Well, let’s just say I am more confident. Daring. Mischievous. Adventurous.
It’s like I am still the same me of yesteryear and yet, not exactly. A lot has changed.
You are more aware of who you are and frankly, most of us stop caring what “society” thinks — our life is ours to live.
If you are approaching the forties and dreading it, let me tell you something: treat each passing year as a victory, because you are becoming the best version of yourself. And, as cliché as this sounds, the best is yet to come.
