Mid 40 here.

I’m hard pressed for advantages. I care less for opinions of others, but also feel immense frustration that those exact opinions influence my life too often.

I appreciate many things more because I have the experience to know how much effort they were, but also lost my fascination amd feeling of wonder.

I think it is not an issue with being older as such. It is the time we live in.

Struggles increasing while the body and mind are decreasing.
