Reflecting on Turning 37: Thoughts on Ageing and Embracing the Present

13/3/2023

 
As I recently turned 37, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. On one hand, I am grateful for another year of life and the experiences that have come with it. But on the other hand, I can't help but feel a twinge of anxiety as I realise that 40 is not too far away, and it's considered a milestone in age.

It's a strange feeling to be in my late thirties. I'm not quite young anymore, but I'm not quite middle-aged either. It's a time where I'm starting to see the physical effects of ageing, such as wrinkles, grey hair, and an occasional ache or pain.

At the same time, I'm still young enough to pursue my dreams and ambitions, and I have the benefit of experience and wisdom to help guide me. I've learnt a lot from my past mistakes and successes, and I hope to use that knowledge to make the most of the years ahead.

However, there's a part of me that feels like I should have accomplished more by this age. I look back on my life so far, and I wonder if I've made the most of my opportunities. I wonder if I've taken enough risks, pursued enough passions, and made a difference in the world.

But then I remind myself that life is not a race or a competition. Everyone has their own journey, and we all move at our own pace. It's important to focus on the present moment, enjoy the simple pleasures of life, and not get too caught up in the future.

As I approach 40, I want to continue to grow, learn, and explore. I want to deepen my relationships, try new things, and make a positive impact on the world in whatever way I can.
