Yes, they say life begins at 40 and now I understand why. Till now you were just trying to figure out what life is ! It's only now that you started to understand it. 40 is when you truly understand what gives you true happiness. You have been on your own long enough to understand the most important person in your life - YOU. 40 is when you have achieved a few things in life but you also have the zeal to achieve more.
40 is when you are most likely to have been parenting enough to understand why you are the way you are. 40 is when your parents are no longer the super human beings, they have started aging, you can now see their flaws and yet you accept them and love and respect them even more.
In 20s you couldn't wait to prove them that you are now truly adult. 40 is when you have been an adult long enough that you start reminiscing your childhood and you relive it with your children.
There are times when you want to go to your parents and be a child again and yet you find yourself parenting your own parents sometimes.
40 is when you realize your body is the ultimate temple. 40 is when you need to prioritize yourself - above everything else. 40 is when you realize there is only one person that can give you true happiness - and that is YOU. 40 is when you start enjoying your own company and are no longer looking for any validations.
40 is when you find your inner peace but the curiosity to try new things is still there.
40 is when you see romance in mundane things. 40 is when you realize it's more important to stop and smell the flowers than to reach somewhere.
