This coming Friday I shall be turning 40. I came across this poem that pretty much sums it all up.<\/p>\n
So you’re depressed and oh-so saddened and maybe feeling a little sickly.
\nAll because your fortieth birthday is approaching rather quickly.
\nYou’re all stressed out and mortified.
\nYou think life will never be the same.
\nUp till now your life’s been fascinating And you’re worried that after 40 it’ll be lame.
\nYou need to relax and get on with your life in the end, your worries are not all that real.
\nIt’s just a birthday like all the others. So what if you can remember the inventing of the wheel.
\nSo embrace your friends and thank the well-wishers that sing “Happy Birthday” to you like they were a choir.
\nAnd when they light the candles on your cake, pray and hope they don’t start your home on fire.
\nIt doesn’t matter what your personality is, whether you’re casual, serious, deep thinking, or sporty.
\nYou might as well enjoy the party because whats the alternative to turning forty?
\nSo cheer up my friend, it could be so much worse.
\nAnd in the end, everything will be just fine because remember the only true way to avoid turning forty, is to die at thirty-nine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
