I am 40 years old. I have recently realized that I am in the throws of a mid-life crisis. This crisis does not involve sports cars, affairs, or plastic surgery. It has actually manifested as a keen desire to take inventory of my life and to create some sort of legacy that might possibly live on, long after I am gone.
I have no children and have slowly come to realize and try to accept the fact that I will never have a child. The time for bringing children into the world has passed me by. I am too old, too tired, and too biologically defective. This is a hard truth to accept, but I am trying. My hope is that this blog will be a healing and therapeutic outlet for me, as I try to navigate my mid-life crisis.
If this fails, there is always botox.
