What part of your life isn’t necessarily bad…but you’re not sure you’d choose again?
At 46, I’ve been thinking about how easily things we once chose become things we simply continue.
A career.
Where we live.
Our routines.
How we spend weekends.
The responsibilities we’ve taken on.
Even the pace at which we live.
And sometimes nothing is actually wrong. We may even be genuinely grateful for the life we’ve built.
But I think there’s a different question worth asking:
If I weren’t already doing this, would I choose it now?
Not as permission to quit a job, end a relationship, move across the country, or blow anything up.
Just curiosity.
I’m interested in hearing from people actually living this stage of life:
What’s something you once chose that you’re now realizing you might choose differently today? And what do you think changed—you, the circumstances, or both?
