2 min readOct 21, 2021
I’m nearly 40 and honestly, I’m just comfortable. I’m still like a child but don’t have the energy.
Here’s my list of what you’ll probably have by the time you’re 40. Embrace it.
- Debt
- A tea towel that you actively hate
- A drawer filled with wires
- Lower tolerance for alcohol
- Clicking knees
- A love for cooking/baking shows or murder documentaries
- The beginning of crow’s feet
- A mindset that you are really in your twenties until you hang out with someone in their actual twenties.
- Nose hair
- Confusion regarding Tik Tok
- Certain foods that give you diarrhea, but you eat them anyway
- Persistent ringing in your ears
- A love of pyjamas
- An inability to sleep for a long time because you have to pee every few hours
- A favorite plate or knife.
- A collection of takeaway menus
- Comfortable shoes
- Perpetual exhaustion
- Sadness when you’re awake at sunrise
- Reading glasses
