Theres a desolation that settles into your soul around your late 40s or early 50s. Not everyone, but its fairly common. You have to figure a way out of it. People think its about accepting the increasing context of limitations in your life, but I think its more than that. You just dont give a shit anymore about so many things. Like going to work and keeping your boss happy. Or where you want to travel on vacation.

It would be interesting to hear more people’s experiences with that. It resonates with me already; so many things I cared about no longer matter. It’s not exactly bad, but a little unsettling. Will I eventually care about nothing?
