Apparently, at 55, I’m supposed to be settling down.
Yeah… nah. 😎
I’ve spent a lot of my life being what I needed to be for everyone else.
Mum. Wife. Business owner. Provider. Problem solver. The one who gets s**t done.
And somewhere in all of that, parts of me got a little lost.
Not anymore.
These days I’m discovering what life looks like when I choose it for myself.
I’m building businesses.
Playing music. 🎹
Sailing boats. ⛵️
Travelling.
Meeting new people.
Saying yes to adventures.
Changing my mind.
Starting over when I need to.
And giving significantly fewer f***s about what a 55-year-old woman is “supposed” to look like or do. 😂
I don’t have everything figured out.
But I know this:
I don’t want a smaller life as I get older.
I WANT MORE LIFE.
More music. More laughter. More love. More adventure. More connection. More experiences that make me think, bloody hell, I’m glad I did that.
Growing older doesn’t mean disappearing quietly into the background.
For me, it’s becoming more myself.
A little bit businesswoman.
A little bit sailor.
A LOT rock ’n’ roll. 🖤🎸
And this version of Mellie?
I really bloody like her.
