I’m 35 now, and while some around me talk about “advanced maternal age” and “annual mammograms,” I refuse to buy into that narrative. Sure, I’m getting older, but honestly? I’m loving my mid-thirties, and here’s why.
Shopping Made Easy
Shopping has become a breeze. I know my body and what fits me. No more squeezing into “boyfriend jeans” that just aren’t meant for my shape. Instead, I confidently choose “curvy” styles that slide on effortlessly. It’s a relief to skip the frustration of fitting rooms, which used to eat up my weekends. I remember those days when I’d waste Fridays trying on clothes at every sale rack—what was I thinking?
Personal Evolution
I’ve also evolved as a person. Gone are the nights spent obsessively planning outfits. Now, my thoughts are filled with significantly more pressing matters: Did I sign the kids’ permission slips? What’s our escape plan in case of a fire? Is that mole on my partner’s back something to worry about? I’ll look it up after coffee—if we haven’t run out of creamer!
Understanding Relationships
At this stage in life, I truly understand who’s important. The people who matter to me are in it for the long haul: through ups and downs. My close friends, who loved me even when I was a self-absorbed twenty-something, still stand by me as I navigate the chaos of adulthood. We’ve shared heartbreaks and life lessons that bind us tighter than ever.
Strength and Assertiveness
I feel stronger and more assertive at 35 than I ever was before. Whether it’s age or sheer determination, I’m ready to fight for what truly matters. With half my life behind me, I’m committed to making every moment count.
The Art of Expression
And I’ve finally mastered the art of swearing effectively. After 35 years of practice, I know how to express myself without hesitation. I can hail a cab, stumble in public, shake a cocktail, and light a match—all without screaming like a teenager. It’s a big deal!
Embrace Being 35
Being 35 is fantastic, and I encourage everyone to embrace it.
