I think hitting 50 was kind of like, “Cool, we’re here.” It’s great. I’m looking forward to the next 50 but at the same time it’s like, “Oh shit, we’re here.”

I have a healthy relationship with my body now and I think it’s because I’ve gotten back to doing active things that make me happy.

I made it here and now I can take elements of myself and amplify them because I was always taught not to use those elements. They were not necessarily seen as strengths and they are. I’m trying to reconnect to certain aspects of myself.

I wish I could tell myself five years ago that it will get better. That’s such an oversimplified thing that people throw around—but it does get better and even understanding it makes it better, even if you can’t fix it. Just understanding it helped.

I’m rediscovering a part of myself that’s always been there but had to take a back burner. It’s been really nice to find a part of myself that’s been dormant and be able to celebrate those things that I have always loved and now get to do more of.

My best, happy life is spending time with friends and family. Going to plays, walking in nature, enjoying the fresh air. The simple things in life.

I’ve been through it all, and so I find myself not just being in the drivers’s seat in my life but also being one of those people that’s teaching others to drive.
