Midlife is all about holding the tension of opposites.

Wise words from Abigail Rasminsky and her therapist on Cup of Jo. Sums up my feelings about my early 40s.

"Unlike in our 20s, when it’s all about the future – getting the job, dating, building a career and/or a family, traveling, doing good in the world – this stage is all about holding the light and the dark, the good and the bad, at once. For most of us, that means there’s plenty we are happy with, and plenty that we are shocked or disappointed by."

"At this stage of life, she explained, we are reconciling how we thought our life would go with how it’s actually going."

Thank you, Abigail Rasminsky. 🙏🏻
