Thank you for writing this…..I just turned 50 this year, and I feel like I too am going through spiritual ‘awareness’/’awakening’/mid-life crisis, so to speak, where I am questioning everything and only concerned with true authenticity in myself and all my relationships. I’m also single, I have no children, and am looking (forward to) (and envisioning) ways that I can fully enjoy my ‘crisis’ with integrity and mindfulness…
Popular culture loves calling a situation like this a “midlife crisis.” Maybe it should be called a “midlife awakening”.
