I am going to be 40 in a couple months. Halfway to eternity.
I feel pretty good about it. I accomplished most of my goals: I traveled the world, graduated from college, tried to give. My 20's were brutal mostly because of the 2008 recession and my 30's were much better.
It takes some luck to live to 40. I've driven 350,000 miles in my cars without a major accident.
I have no wife, kids or pets so I'm not focused on my kid's futures since they don't exist. I'm pretty grateful for that given the state of the world and decline of American society.
My only life goal left is to attain the Beatific Vision in the afterlife. Eternal joy. I pray about 5 hours a day.
How did you feel when you turned 40?
Good, bad, indifferent?
Did you have a midlife crisis?
