A pretty word.
The good thing about reading is that we are always learning by it. Words come into play and with new words you come to learn more about life, and then the new words add meaning to your life! Middlescence is the midlife, a time that causes confusion and uncertainty in a person’s life. That uncertainty may probably make the person act irrationally and unpredictably or predictably, defiant of facing that period in life. Commonly known as the midlife crisis. Just as adolescence is a difficult period, so is middlescence.
More questions than answers
Middlescence may invoke a myriad questions. Like, is this it? Have I worked so hard to get here, only for this? Am I going to suffer alone henceforth? Is my health going to deteriorate? Do we have the answers? No! Where is ‘here’? Is there a defined ‘here’? The question is how was the journey? If you were gratified with the sacrifices, then the journey was happy. If you are proud of the person you are and the wisdom you have gained,then life has been worth it and will continue to be worth it. Midlife means just a few more numbers to the years, of experience, happiness and the future joys to come. Until the last breath, there is always a future.
You are going to be that person
