In October, my best friend of 40 years, Asia, and I took her 13-year-old daughter, Izumi, to one of the last U.S. stops of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. As Izumi glued sparkles in a heart shape on her face with eyelash glue pre-show, I asked Asia, a therapist, what she was seeing in her clients our age. She said, “Women in their 40s are saying, ‘I did not work this hard to not get to do whatever the hell I want. Don’t ask me to do everything and then not expect me to want everything.’ People might call that a midlife crisis. I’d call it a coming of age.” Read the rest here.
