How did you express your midlife crisis?

1 Answer

Answer :

I started having my midlife crisis in my early ‘30s and went through the whole megillah: divorce, sport car, job changes, beard, and endless dating. It lasted longer than I’m willing to admit. I look at photos of myself from those years and wonder… WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING… AND WHY CAN’T BE THAT YOUNG NOW !!!
