there was a thread about this same thing a while back, anyway
Im 41. life does start at 40! when I turned 30 I felt older than the hills, like life was over. it was just the worst thing that ever happend to me(of course it was the way things were going at that time that made me feel like that also) I just felt like oh no, 30! thats it, it's all over! ( )
I felt like that, til I was about 35, then thought, oh heck so what. I didn't mind turning 40 at all! and I would never want to go back in time.
