I’ve turned fifty and, from reading this, I see I have much to learn from you. An inspiring post.

That I will Brett! Thank you for sharing. I thought at 30 I stopped caring so much, turns out I’d dialled it down about a quarter. I think we’re half way there now.

This resonated loudly. Like you, I’ve cut way back on social media. I’ve stopped looking for validation from others and now concentration on how I feel instead., I let myself be messy…real…imperfect. So freeing!
