We're all 'damaged goods' in some way shape form or another when we get to 40+ !

I believe you're right... By the time we get to 40ish, I'm certain we have ALL been dealt some lousy cards.... Life experience makes us grow... and I feel the secret lies within how we learn and cope with these experiences. 😊

Maybe I'll receive less many pms on SW when my age range changes to 41-45? 😏
Actually I'm really looking forward to becoming 40+.
I don't see myself as a damaged good, maybe that's why.

Life can be a cruel teacher. But in the end I'm better for what I've been taught.

Welcome to life, I try to think of this as growth that's not always easy ether

Maybe a little bit worn at 40 but life gets better, the hormones settle down

Some days I feel like a used car.

Thats the spirit

Very true
