I always laughed or rolled my eyes when I heard about people going through a “midlife crisis.” It was usually associated with buying expensive cars, getting hair transplants and dating younger women.
Seemed like a bunch of weak minded bullshit to me.
Then I kind of went through one myself when I was turning forty. And it fucked me up. Confused the shit out of me and made me question who I was and why I do everything I do.
I didn’t like the answers I came up with I had a long, serious sit down with the man in the mirror.
I was embarrassed, ashamed and disgusted.
Changes had to be made. But figuring out how to make those changes was a grueling task. And it challenged my manhood. Did I really have the balls to do what needed to be done. Or was I just a fraud? A pussy?
I was unknowingly lying to myself and everyone else.
It was time for some big changes.
That’s the focus of today’s episode. It’s my most personal, revealing one yet.
