You hear people complain a lot about aging, and for lots of very good reasons. (When did my knees get so flakey???) Well, it’s not all bad, says Katie Bingham-Smith. In fact, it’s actually pretty great a lot of the time: “It took me a while to get here: a place of doing what I want because I know it’s good for my soul and well-being. And the timing is not a coincidence, either: The feelings of FOMO and paying too much attention to what everyone else was doing faded into the background sometime around my 39th birthday, right as I segued into my 40s. And it’s been a freeing journey ever since.” She’s got plenty of great points, and as somebody still on the cusp of her 40s, I found it pretty encouraging. Do you agree?
