Spot on! I’m past mid-life (unless I live to be a centenarian), but/and could so relate to everything you wrote. “I purchase things with non-FDA approved medicinal properties, ancient remedies for some ailment I inherited by osmosis but cannot identify” —yes! to that and growing kale and being zero waste and having paint all over me.
I'm with you 100%, Kate. What happened to the brontosaurus? "They" didn't cancel it like they did to poor, unassuming Pluto, did they? Is brontosaurus now a "dwarf dinosaur"?.... You know what? Don't tell me. With everything I ever knew to be true disappearing, let me have this one thing. This is midlife and I'd like to leave this world still holding some things sacred. Sigh...
The loss of Pluto is rough. I saw a necklace with “all of the planets” and counted eight. I guess we should allow the world to evolve but also, I kind of want Pluto back.
Loved it! Midlife is indeed a disorienting ride. Like suddenly realizing you are the only sober person at a wild party (or vice versa) that you didn't mean to attend. You question why you're here, what brought you, and if you'll ever find the exit 😂
I definitely identify! I’m a new retiree and empty nester and my ideas and lack of commitment are endless. Today I got my first tattoo. Tomorrow I’ll probably buy a tipi online and realize I don’t know how to set it up. And don’t get me started on how disgusting it is to actually brew your own kombucha.

Paint away!

Baristas are sometimes the only adults I talk to all day... I want to give them gifts for making me feel like a person.
YES
