They say midlife crisis hits at 40, but honestly, I've been in a constant state of crisis since I realized I could no longer eat whatever I wanted without consequences. Instead of buying a sports car, I bought a blender and started making kale smoothies. I figure if I can't be young forever, at least I can try to be regular.
I thought about getting a tattoo, but at this age, the only thing I want permanently etched on my body is a grocery shopping list. And skydiving? Please, I get a rush just from standing up too quickly.
But hey, the good thing about a midlife crisis is that it makes for great storytelling. I told my kids about my wild days, and they just rolled their eyes. Apparently, binge-watching Netflix is not as thrilling as skydiving, but I argue it's less likely to result in a broken hip.
Dating at 40 is like trying to find a needle in a haystack, but the needle is looking for someone who knows how to operate a fax machine. And don't even get me started on online dating. I swiped right so many times; I thought I was playing a game of Candy Crush.
The last time I went on a date, they asked me if I wanted to split a dessert, and I was like, "Sure, let's split the bill while we're at it." Romance at 40 is a delicate dance between "Do you have joint health insurance?" and "How many cats is too many cats?"
But you know, there's a silver lining to dating at 40. At this age, we come with fewer red flags because we've already been through half our midlife crisis. No more convertible sports cars; we're just looking for someone who can change a tire and remember our anniversary.
I decided to get in shape at 40, not because I wanted a six-pack but because I wanted to be able to carry all the groceries in one trip. They say 40 is the new 30, but my knees are arguing otherwise. I tried doing a high-intensity workout, and the only thing that got intense was my craving for pizza afterward.
At 40, my idea of a balanced diet is a cookie in each hand. Remember the days when "getting lucky" meant finding a parking spot right in front of the grocery store? Now it means finding the TV remote without having to get up.
But hey, I'm not complaining. I've embraced my dad bod. It's not a beer belly; it's a storage compartment for snacks. And you know you're getting old when you choose a comfortable mattress over a wild night out because nothing says luxury like a good night's sleep.
You know you're getting old when you bend down to tie your shoes and wonder what else you can do while you're down there. At 40, life is like a game of Twister, but instead of colored circles, it's just different ways to make weird noises when you stand up. My knees snap, crackle, and pop more than my morning cereal.
And don't get me started on trying to keep up with technology. I remember when the most advanced thing in my house was a color-changing mood ring. Now, I can't even figure out how to change the settings on the thermostat without calling it a "darn contraption."
Turning 40 is like upgrading to the latest software – you hope it comes with new features, but mostly it just slows everything down. But hey, at least now when I throw my back out, there's a good reason. It's not because I tried to impress someone with a backflip; it's because I sneezed too hard.
