40? Now What?


Full transparency - I have no idea what I’m doing. I thought by the time you turn 40 you would have it all figured out. Boy was 13 year old me wrong. Also….I’m rounding the corner to 41 so technically this post is a little late.

What my 40 looks like for me (cliff notes edition):
  • A bonus mom of a nearly 10 year old son.
  • A mom of SIX cats…yes…six. 
  • Working in marketing in the A/E/C field.
  • Type 1 Diabetic for going on 40 years now. Wild. Trying to keep that under control literally every minute of my life with no end of being a type 1 diabetic in sight. 
  • A subscriber to multiple hard copy magazines because I don’t care how “online” we are - I will never give up the feeling of sitting on the couch on Sunday afternoon, flipping through HGTV and Food Network magazines. 
  • 40 years and counting of social anxiety which in theory stops me from partaking in a lot of life but also…I’m okay with that. I won’t apologize for wanting to be home with my family and cats. I pay more money than I can afford to be a homeowner so I may as well enjoy it.
  • Oh right also, I have no idea what I want my life to look like either. I want it to have my son, my husband, and my cats but like…I don’t know what else I really want in that life. What do I mean? I have no idea….like I said…I thought I would know everything by now but I…do not.
  • Also, I’m desperately seeking a creative outlet in life. I am a true Gemini (hello fellow Gems!) - I get tunnel vision towards a hobby or activity but as soon as I feel like I’ve tackled it, I get bored and stop and again I’m left without a creative outlet to focus the right side of my brain on. This blog was created BECAUSE I started making custom pet beds and selling them in person and on Etsy. Originally this blog was SewSaviorFaire Creations and was linked to my Etsy! But that lasted long enough for me to realize I hated sewing so this became a lifestyle blog.
  • Oh right, I’ve also not posted on HERE in years and years, but here I am. Seeking an outlet for creating something…anything. Even if it’s just for myself and a handful of people to read and hopefully relate to. 
I could honestly go on….and on…but what I want to know is. Is there anyone out there? If so, is there anything you would want to read that I could share or provide? I’ve desperately missed reading blogs and writing on my own, like a lot of people, I am seeking REAL content from REAL people. 

I think that’s all I have for now…because if I don’t stop I can’t even imagine how deep down the brain rabbit-hole I could go.

Until next time.

 
  1. I feel you! I'm 77 and still don't know what I want my life to look like ... maybe it is the journey, not the destination. I've just been thinking about taking on some sort of job that I can dictate my time .. since I am basically retired ... but also miss that p art of me that can be of service and receive creative, funny, and intelligent stimulation from others. That's where your blog comes in :) ... Thanks for re-entering the creative world.
