Otherside of 40 is a column delivered in bite-sized pieces with relatable hilarity and poignant topics for those, particularly women, in middle age. It is compiled from contributed tidbits and written in the first person by one of our writers. Please note, there is a content warning as it delves into bodily functions, undignified medical procedures, sex, dating and things you might not want to know are in your future.
As perimenopause has me unenergetic and unmotivated, I’ve come to realise I’m grateful for (and need) family, friends, lovers and visitors for more than just the usual reasons.
- I need visitors to drop into my home so I’m motivated to do any cleaning or weeding.
- I need a lover to pop in regularly so I care to also maintain the “weeds” on my body.
- I need friends for weekend adventures and outings or I might never stop working.
What are you grateful for after the age of 40 that you considered in a different light before it?
