Posted: 5/28/2006 2:14:39 AM | yeah I'm here and 45.
I love it just like I've loved every age I've ever been. And I look forward to what is ahead of me. I have changed though!
I've changed in the fact that I am not going to let any inhibitions hold me back any longer.
Anyone else? And why?
For me it's, either you like me or you don't. Carry on!

Posted: 5/28/2006 2:39:46 AM | | I too am 45 and here I am, single again! I have to agree that as we have grown older, we find ourselves more willing to try new things and experiences and hopefully have come full circle within ourselves. The journey to this point has been a learning experience and the journey that lies ahead should exciting. Life is too short to waste on things that will mean nothing. I believe that at this age, we need to lose all of the baggage and the inhibitions that come along with it and really enjoy ourselves! I too feel that a person will like me or not & if not... see ya! | |

Posted: 5/28/2006 7:03:12 AM | Yeah, me too. 47, though... and I'm still cleaning out my inhibitions. I'm enjoying doing that, though. 
The second half of life lies ahead. Might as well make it better than the first half, true? | |

Not sure what the OP means by 'inhibitions.' But I do agree with 'either you like me or you don't,' but I've always pretty much been like that. 
I have to agree that as we have grown older, we find ourselves more willing to try new things and experiences I actually find that with most older people I meet, the opposite is true.
Life is too short to waste on things that will mean nothing. I believe that at this age, we need to lose all of the baggage... And as far as what I read in the forums, this certainly doesn't hold true. Just my ever so humble opinion. | |

Can we roll back and discuss the inhibitions that you did have before you hit 45
you sound a bit like a three year old stamping your little foot here, just be yourself and dont worry what others think - thats a good rule of thumb.
Happiness is what you want it to be on a daily basis | |

Posted: 11/7/2009 3:43:40 AM | | I understand. I forgotten to have fun . Whenever my Husband died I decided to do the things I love. But I forgot what those were. So I started discovering the things that I love.......including simply enjoying music, backpacking and repelling to name a few. I love dancing and have signed up for dance lessons.....I try on new things some work some don't. I caged myself in a little bitty narrow world for years. I enjoy life and make as many friends and a lot are unconventional and conventional wherever I go. I have learned to accept all different kinds of people...whether they fit into my idea's I am now open minded. I have had so many people open their worlds to me and I love it. I have learned so much by doing this. It is a nice thing to shake off the narrow in us and to open our lives to new experiences..... | |

45 is many many many many many many life changes and farout adventures ago.
So I guess it's safe to say I haven't been sitting around stuck in inhibitions.  | |

Maybe if we didn't repel so much, we wouldn't have any inhibitions. Just having a little fun. No offense. Time to go. Bye. | |

Posted: 11/7/2009 4:06:26 PM | Okay I get the logic and I totally believe that people go through a door where they feel good in their own skin , but what about your inhibition that prevents me from putting a face to your words.
I have conquered a lot of my fears I just need to find the time to start violin lessons now.
I absolutely adore the sound of a violin and would long to play but just have not done it yet. | |

It's a resurected thread... which we gotta do sometimes because many new threads are deemed redundant due to all the old threads left on this site. | |

Posted: 11/7/2009 4:19:14 PM | At this age with the children all grown up and gone it is time for me.....
And it is a very fun thing discovering who you are.....I remember whenever I was a teenager driving in the snow for the first time I pulled over to enjoy and feel happy to be so free.....that is how I feel now. Happy. Happy and excited to reach for the stars. Happy and excited that life has been so good and I feel so blessed. Seven years ago the love of my life committed suicide. I never thought I would see or feel the sunshine again....one day the sun was shining and I realized at that moment I felt happy for no reason.....I tried it on and have kept it since. No one is happy and carefree 24/7 but after having lived through the darkest days of my life I was grateful for any branch to yank me out of it. In the next week seven years after his death the last legal huddle will be over with. I have learned so much. I have had wonderful amazing people that have supported me until I was able once again reach for the stars.....so waste no time get busy. Life is hard but it is magical at the same moment. All you have to do is breath.
Now onto see a Blue's Concert.......Reba Russell....something that I now enjoy and do often.......l | |

Posted: 11/7/2009 4:27:19 PM | "either you like me or you don't"
I like to think of that a bit different.
It is none of my business, what others think of me.
-------------------------
I also carry that thinking and have for years to - "it is none of my business what others think/do about anything".
That is why I don't get in pizzing matches on the internet or much of anywhere else.
Unless someone tries to make it my business - I just mostly ignore what others think/do.
It is just none of my business. | |

Posted: 11/8/2009 11:17:48 PM | | Right on! I feel the same... love me the way I am, or dont love me at all. Oh the beauty that comes with age. We don't care anymore what people think about us, we dont care what we say, we just let our inhibitions go and say what we think, do what we want, etc etc etc and dont care. Age definitely changes your way of thinking, and I'm SOOOO glad I'm my age. No more hangups, no more inhibitions, no more pining and whining over what i said or what i feel.... just let it all hang loose baby! I do... and love it | |

Posted: 11/9/2009 6:46:31 AM | I once had an acquaintance tell me she hated me, lol. I asked her why and she said, "Because you are always so God d*mned happy!" After my initial shock I told her that my happy state was much more tolerable, for me and anyone around me, than the old b*tchy, negative one I once had.
I am enjoying my 50s almost as much as my 30s, and look forward to my 60s with much anticipation, tee hee!! | |
