#BreakThings: Fortyish?

06.29.21

Yesterday, a friend asked me what I was going to call this newsletter after I turn 40 next year. “Well, you won’t be in your 30s anymore, so it’ll need a new name.”

Once I finished sticking my tongue out at her, I explained that Thirtyish is any age between 29 and a Wal-Mart Greeter (which, incidentally, is a joke only people over 30 will understand).

Thirtyish is a state of being, when you’re still figuring life out but you’re mature enough to understand that life never gets figured out.

Plus, the Fortyish domain name isn’t available. (Of course, I checked, who wouldn’t check?!)

So Thirtyish for Life.
