Being over 40 feels like a breath of fresh air. I’ve grown into my confidence, and there’s a real sense of peace in accepting myself just as I am. I know what truly matters to me now, and I cherish the deeper connections I’ve built over the years. I have more freedom to chase after my passions and truly enjoy the little things in life. With all that experience, I handle challenges with a bit more grace and wisdom. It’s a beautiful time, and I’m loving every moment of it.
