It's not a mid life crisis it's an half life crisis because is lasting a bit too long

I had big plans for my "mid-life crisis" looking at 40, thinking, maybe get a motorbike? Move to South America?? Hike the Appalacian trail? Who knows! Endless possibilities... But instead life brought me exactly that, "the biggest trial of your life." It's been the toughest last 3 months of my entire life, and I'm not close to being out of the muck yet. But I do trust that once I do make it out the other side (and I know I will), I will come out stronger and changed forever. Not the midlife crisis I wanted, but (maybe?) the one I needed? #timewilltell 😑🙏

I sincerely hope I am not stuck that long. It's been taking hard a toll on me both mentally and physically. 😓

You’ve got this brother, everything always turns around in the end ❤️ they better reimburse the door 🤞🏼

Between the ages of 27 and 34, I went through an intense crucible. At first it felt like a punishment. Until I realized what I mistook for destruction was actually renewal. Because what punishments of god are not gifts? And in the end… I walked out with everything I’d been chasing. Not because life got easier, but because I finally became the kind of man who could carry the weight. View quoted note →

Hiking the AT was an amazing way to turn 30. I came out a changed man.

Is this because of the motorcycle? It’s a practical ride man. I told you that. Good on gas too.

We all get lessons until we learn them, i was very slow to learn

I have dreamed about it since I was a kid! One of those things I always ‘expected’ I would do ‘one of these days’ but just haven’t gotten around to it yet! I’ve done a lot of traveling and other long distance treks though– Still do hope to complete the AT one day before the old bones wear out!

I think mine was last year. Wife was diagnosed with cancer and I opted to stop drinking, hit the gym 201 times in a year, write a small "book", and put the kids on my back. Cried a few times in the parking lot before work, but here we are.

Sorry to hear that. Hope she's well. 🫂

That’s where I am right now. No one tells you that you die in your 30s and have to find a new way forward. It feels like death too. Everything you ever knew falls away. It’s way beyond wanting a flashy car or to go on a trip you always wanted to go on. It’s figuring out what to do for the rest of your life as the person you’ve become.

recovery has gone well, thank you
