Happy Birthday!

Nothing can stop whatโ€™s coming.

๐Ÿค As someone who has consistently not given a fuck throughout my life, I think I get to skip this evolutionary step.

Officially a senior!

I had you for like 58. You're wise beyond your years.

Thank you, my adolescent years counted for 2x

I meant about the liver. I can see the liver years in people.

I felt the same way when I turned 40. I thought the idea of a midlife crisis was a joke. Then around 48, I found myself fighting depression (at least my version of it) and everything in life was just blah and I was frustrated to why. Once I started talking about it I found out many other men had the same experience in late 40s, I think the timing of midlife has moved. Just be ready for it is my advice so you can recognize when it comes. Once I understood it was classic midlife crises thinking it was much easier to find a path through it. Donโ€™t mean to be preachy on your note but I wished more older men had been open with me about their experiences at that age. Oh, and the awesome part of being 40โ€ฆ. Everyone starts leaving you alone when you tell them you donโ€™t want to do something๐Ÿ˜

Your musings are always welcome and appreciated. Thanks for the advice Rob.

Does it feel like not wanting to really do anything anymore? I feel so unmotivated lately and just assume it is the end of winter. Going to read a goggins book to try to get some motivation to do something. My life is too much of a cakewalk.

For me it was probably more that everything seemed meaningless, so why put effort in. Looking back I realized that it was also the first time in my life I didnโ€™t feel like I could remake myself into a new career or big life change if I wanted to. Kinda stuck with the life I had, and even though that life was awesome it felt like less sense of adventure. By 51-52ish I was out of it and now think this phase of life with grown kids is awesome. Less figuring out whatโ€™s next, and more enjoying each day for the blessings it has.

Happy Birthday John!

40 was fun an I remember being underwhelmed. Each one after has been great and I haven't fallen apart yet or anything. Enjoy them and don't let your health decline! Eh, 46 this year and swore I had already done that. Did some math, yep. So I got an extra year of life, rather nice. Happy 40th! May your Bitcoin stack, health and everything in general grow in abundance!

Thank you sitting guy. ๐Ÿค
