Truth is, while I am genuinely pissed with my young(er) colleagues on a regular basis, I also feel shame as I rant against them. I can't help think to myself, "Isn't that what they said about me once?"
Beauty after forty
You don't really know the true beauty of a woman until after 40. At that age, wrinkles begin to appear to reveal smiles or permanent frowns. The world will know who ate more vegetables than pork crackling and vice versa. And the kindness within becomes more visible to the outside.
A tile to remember
The tile is a small gadget one can attach to things and then use to find them via one's Bluetooth. I bought a set of 4 tiles, 2 different sizes at €65 (approximately US$75). They came as advertised but buyer beware of the things they don't put in bold print.
Melancholy
Sometimes I feel sadness I cannot explain. I wish the world would understand that there are moments when I simply want to lie down and watch the sky
Anger is exhausting
Anger, that emotion I grew accustomed to in my teenage years is now something I turn to less and less. As I grow older, I realize that anger takes up a lot of energy. Also, as I grow older, I find myself getting lazier.
Art and past loves
Heartbreak is made bearable when one coats it in painting and prose. A calmer, older version of me goes back to those lost loves without anger or shame. This is what happens with age I guess.
Snapchat for oldies
Over 35 and wondering what Snapchat is? Read this blog and figure out for yourself if you should hit the download button.
When quitting is not (yet) an option
Midlifers pay bills, feed dependents, and keep aging parents provided for. With such responsibility on our shoulders, jumping ship needs to be done with care and planning.
Midlife: what you need to know
I like to think that a midlife crisis is primarily about a person questioning his or her purpose at life's midpoint. In my opinion, trying to understand how to make the most of one's remaining days is not a bad thing. It can lead to a productive change in career, a healthier lifestyle, or even a positive shift in priorities from work to family.
Dear old friend
How are you? I think of you all the time but somehow, I never find the time to tell you about it. Phone calls are cheaper, email/text is free, and we are often in the same city. Yet there is a silence between us that Skype or WhatsApp cannot bridge.
