Tbh I thought you were going to say that you remained a ball of bliss amongst the 18 year old chaos and I was feeling a tiny bit... FUCK WHY CAN'T I REMAIN CHILL ALL THE TIME TOO and then you said that wasn't the exact case and I feel so much better about myself! Truly. šŸ™šŸ˜‚ I love this reminder! All about ebbs and flows. Also, "Old and irrelevant at 50" would be a hilarious Substack name! šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ To be clear I do love your current brand vibe!! And, I am honored to be included in this round-up, thank you! šŸ˜Š

Oooh I've never seen those balls used in a pilates class, intriguing. Hah, I feel young until I try going out with 30-something colleagues and then my body and brain are like, nope, you do not have the stamina for this anymore šŸ¤£ Thanks so much for including me in your round-up, I really appreciate it!

While you paint a vivid picture of the jarring shift from tranquility to chaos, I can't help but wonder if there's also a strange beauty in that noise and energy. Perhaps it's a reminder that life is meant to be lived fully, with all its ups and downs, and that even the most chaotic moments can hold a certain vibrancy and aliveness.

I think you are probably right. It's just the transition from 1 world to the other was very sudden!
