I Guess I'm Middle-Aged Now, And It's Weird As Hell

Jun. 8, 2023
YOUR 40S
I Guess I'm Middle-Aged Now, And It's Weird As Hell

Christina Crawford is about to turn 40, and she's got some big feelings about it: "It's a weird time of life. So many of the big milestones (graduation, marriage) are in the rearview, and I'm beginning to see the effects of aging — fine lines and gray hair and weird aches and pains. I find technology endlessly perplexing, I don't understand new lingo, and the Gen Z fashion trends baffle me. In public, I'm constantly muttering things like, 'Why is the music so loud in here' and 'Where are the other half of the shirts?'"

But today, she's shifting her perspective on this whole chapter of her life. And it might change yours, too! Give it a read. Besides, I hear those AARP discounts are actually pretty great.
