So, the title of today’s post is “30 55”. It’s about hitting that point in life where you start to wonder if this is all there is. I’ve been feeling a bit lost lately, and I know I’m not alone. You know that feeling when you wake up and just feel… meh? That’s been me for a while now.
It all started a few months back. I was just going through the motions, you know? Wake up, go to work, come home, eat, sleep, repeat. It felt like I was stuck in a rut. I started to feel anxious, like something was missing, but I couldn’t put my finger on it.
Then, it hit me. I’m in my midlife, and I’m not exactly thrilled about it. It’s like, is this it? Is this all I’m going to do? I started thinking about all the things I haven’t done and probably won’t get to do. It was a real downer, to be honest.
I tried to shake it off, but the feeling wouldn’t go away. I even considered making some big changes, like quitting my job and moving to a different country. I know, it sounds crazy, but I was desperate for something to change.
After some serious soul-searching, and a few sleepless nights, I realized I needed to do something. So, I started small. Here are some of the things I did:
- I started to take walks during my lunch break. Just getting out of the office and some fresh air helped a ton.
- I also started journaling. It’s a good way to get all those messy thoughts out of my head.
- I picked up an old hobby, playing the guitar, again. It’s been a great way to relax and unwind after a long day.
- I began to spend more time with my family and friends. It’s amazing how much better you feel when you’re surrounded by people who love you.
- I tried to focus on the good things in my life. I know it sounds cheesy, but it really does make a difference.
It wasn’t easy, and I still have my bad days. But I’m slowly starting to feel like myself again. It’s a process, you know? I’m learning to accept where I am in life and to make the most of it. I am starting to realize that it’s okay to not have everything figured out.
And that’s where I am today. It’s not perfect, but it’s real. And I’m okay with that. I hope, my story will help someone who is also going through similar feelings, to overcome these challenges.
