Women who have reached their “prime“, how old were you and what did that mean for you?

1. I reached it at different times because it was more of what I thought of myself.

   18 to 20, I lost some weight, at first naturally and after in the most unhealthy way possible but I had the finances that allowed me to buy the clothes and beauty products to take care of myself so years later I understood that I never had a problem with my body, I just didn’t had the finances to take care of myself.

   22 years old, I lost all of the 30kg and some extra from an extremely bad depression and started back to take care of myself.

   And lastly now because my relationship with myself is completely different than the first 2 times and I have more knowledge of it.

2. I hit mine in my forties (now 56) and I felt completely on top of my game, professionally, socially, physically, sexually. I left my hb at 43 and just went for it: dating, solo travel, hiking all over the world. I loved that decade and I’m now not sure if this new one isn’t a kind of prime in itself – more peaceful, now freelance and disengaged from the pressures of corporate life, single and happy (no kids), digital nomadding and solo hiking. Now I look back at that 40s prime and see it as a kind of madness – a final frenzy of my body trying to procreate despite my desire not to. I didn’t have a frenzied teens or twenties so I was making up for lost time.

3. I feel like I’m in my prime now at 34. Looking back at the last 10 years, I see constant growth of my mind and body. Reaching my prime means I have the confidence to continue being the best that I can be.
