I am a female in the fifth decade of my life who they say is on the “Wrong side of forty!!”

A term I totally fail to understand ..

What  is age?  Isn’t it a numerical number which proves your existence and quantifies  your stay on this beautiful planet earth!! 

Then how can there be a right or wrong side to it?? 

Can someone explain it to me?? 

I also do not understand when I read a statement in bold and in italics in a fashion  magzine.. “Forties is the new thirties  ”

Excuse me why is it the new thirties??It’s just not…..Why do u want to make me forget about a whole decade of my beautiful life ??

According to me this is the best age to be because you see….. 

I’m at a stage where I think rationally… I am No longer sentimental and over sensitive to things around, 

I accept people as they are without trying to change them, 

I know and accept my weaknesses…. 

I love my body…

I have no intent to look famished 

I love my sexuality….

And I’m proud of my sensuality…… 

I have grown… Matured… Seen life…. Felt happy… Sad… Vulnerable….depressed… Confused….. Everything… And yet here I’m waking up every morning ready to face each new day as it comes with resilience and calm. 

Then how am I on the wrong side of anything at all !!Forget wrong side of 40…

So why not let go of this term “wrong side of Forty or Fifty or Sixty or as they say

 ” Forties is the new thirties ” 

 Plz give me a break… It isn’t either of them. It is exactly what it numerically depicts… Period!! And I m loving every moment of it …..

  • Love yourself Unconditionally 
  • Accept your age
  • And above all age gracefully….. 

Wishing u all a life full of heath and positivity…. Three cheers to the fifth decade of this beautiful journey called life…
