What is a midlife crisis?

Questions, questions…

Does a mid-life crisis change you intrinsically as a person? Or is it society that changes you? Do external factors such as COVID and the impending doom of climate change push you in unexpected ways? Would I have stayed the little mouse in the background if life had remained unchanged? Or would I have found within myself the energy and the courage to champion a cause? Who knows what life can throw at you but also what you can give back?

Guilt

Perhaps this blog might be a little self-indulgent to some, an appeasement to myself to quell these pangs of guilt that prick my conscience in the early hours of the morning as the shadows come out to play. Maybe it’s the search for the good in people, finding like-minded fellows in this grey world, a light or even a rainbow on the solitary plane of “télétravail”. Perhaps you, like me, want to change things for the better and acknowledge those souls who work tirelessly for us, our planet and our children.

Change

Midlife has enabled me not only to question my place in the world, but also how we could at will function as a society in the future. Difficult choices have been made and yet we are still evolving. Life is changing around us. We have to be part of the change.

    Cold flushes on a summer’s day can perhaps be thought of as being a “good” symptom of the menopause, however once you have turned blue and you shiver uncontrollably for the hundredth time this year and reach for the hot water bottle for a temporary fix, it suddenly doesn’t seem that much of a boon.…

  • “They always say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.”

    As the year nears its end, I find myself wondering about the sanity of starting a blog. Hanging out your washing to dry for all to see was not the intention but more an evaluation of whether we could live more sustainably in a society that buffets us consistently with consumerism dilemmas. Should we try…
