so- exactly how do WE get to sign up and have a mlc? it sounds good to me- I WANT FUN AGAIN - I WANT carefree affection & love
It IS possible to have a HEALTHY midlife crisis. I feel like my divorce pushed me into one I wouldn't otherwise have had. What does mine look like? I took up playing the drums in a rock band (and NO, it's NOT an all-girl band - why do people always ask me that?? I am good enough to play with the boys ). I've had fun dating a handful of tall dark handsome interesting men - ok, some with too much emotional baggage, some much too young for me, but all interesting, intelligent, sexy men who I don't regret and most of whom are still my good friends. I've traveled to London and Rome with my mom and my sis, had a fun evening drinking and singing with an entire RAF rugby team at a pub in Bath, kissed a handsome Croatian water-polo coach in an Irish pub in Rome (where I sang karaoke for the first time). I bought a red car and red sofas.
Reinvention and stepping outside your comfort zone can be a GOOD thing - it's just very different from the depressed desperation of the true MLCer.
