Advice from Mikey Rox on his Adventurous Mid-Life Crisis Journey
"I turned 44 years old this year — and that makes me a middle-aged man. It doesn’t feel like that, though. I’m not sure what it’s supposed to feel like, but I didn’t expect it to feel like this. Which is good. I feel good.
I also feel 44. I’m older. I’m wiser. I’m a little bit fatter. But I feel good. You won’t catch me hanging out in my old haunts anymore. Or stumbling to an after-hours. Or even running a half-marathon. Certainly not consecutively; that’s young-boy s**t...
Truth is, midlife is only “mid” if you allow it. There’s no limit to what you can do on this planet — and beyond, even. The only limiter is you. But it’s all possible if you embrace the possibility.
Of course, it’s also possible that these thoughts are nothing more than the manifestation of a midlife crisis all my own.
Good. I’ve always wanted to know what that was like too."
