And today's edition. "Site" We offer to get acquainted with the discoveries of a woman who celebrated her 46th birthday and realized that she is not the same as she was in 40 years.



I used to think it didn’t matter how old you were: 40 or 46. Either way, it’s a little over 40, or just 40+. But it was different. The difference between 40 and 46 was as big as the difference between a newborn baby and a first-grader. Just a chilling contrast”.

“It is not just about feeling well, it is not just about wrinkles or gray hair. It seems that only the weight remained the same, and everything else in me changed, says Elena.



“Six years ago I did not have shoes. I didn't even wear a dress. Now I manage to include both the first and the second in a single image. It seems like nothing. In any case, I like it, and the opinions of others no longer bother me.

“When I was 40, I didn’t leave home without making up my eyelashes. Now my most popular element of cosmetics was hygienic lipstick. I also laughed at people who were serious about depression. Over the years, I have experienced it myself.”



“At 40, I wanted to control everything.” And I felt like I was in control. Fortunately, in these 6 years, I have managed to get rid of this bad habit. I stopped worrying about what would happen tomorrow. But I realized that my present is more important than the future.”

6 years ago, family and children were my priority. But now the kids have grown up. And it opened up new opportunities for me that I'm in a hurry to take advantage of. And if before home chores were much more priority than watching TV shows and reading books, today it is the opposite.



“At 40, I was afraid to make a mistake. Now I am eager to pursue new adventures and more afraid to miss the opportunity to make this very mistake. And if I look stupid later, it's okay.

“Until I was 40, I was looking for harmony, but I couldn’t find it. Now I just made the situation in which I am harmonious. And there is nothing else to look for, because everything is near.

“Six years ago, I could not imagine living a day without a good glass of wine. The reason could be anything: any holiday or event. I could have had a drink to lift my mood. I have now forgotten what wine tastes like.”



“I used to find it strange to keep personal diaries. Not a day goes by that I don’t write anything. This has become one of my main passions at this stage.”

“Only 6 years. A little bit. On the other hand, those 2,000 days are a lifetime of loss and gain. And when someone says, “Oh, you haven’t changed at all,” I don’t believe it. That is not true.”



Perhaps interesting discoveries await man. at any stage of life. It doesn’t matter if he’s in his 30s, 40s, or 50s. At any age, you can find something good and become a little better. Isn't that right?
