Member-only story
I guess I had some goals for 40 in my life, seemingly none of which I’ve achieved to this point. Now I’ve tacked on another year to 40, still haven’t achieved most of those goals, am trying to stop drinking with some success and some still failure, can’t seem to get my wife pregnant (which is a tremendous stressor that I’ll only paint the edges of), and just generally feel adrift and pointless in existence. Maybe I should learn how to repair HVAC or something. I’ve been trying to do “content” for years and despite having 2,780 posts on my main blog, I get about 350 page views some days — so, as a Sri Lanka SEO expert told me once, “the content must suck.” I feel awful and defeated almost every morning. So, I’m 41 and I’m not sure what the achievements therein are, but I’m just going to keep getting up and trying every day. Isn’t that what all of us do?
