Welcome to
LIVING MY LIFE AT 40.
I turned 40 and F*ck it.
In 2023, I was diagnosed with Leukemia. Today, I am in remission but what I’ve come to realize is that life is shorter than we think. It sounds grim but we’ve all been there; as we get older, start families, focus on our careers, and age, we often make excuses and end up pushing aside experiences we hoped to have completed when we were younger.
After the health journey I’ve had, I’ve decided F*ck it! Why not start crossing things off of my “life list”. Today, I’m committed to living life to the fullest and bettering myself and that starts with this list. To commemorate turning 40, I’ve created a list of 40 things I’m going to accomplish this year. Some of the items are bucket list items and some I’ve just been putting off or have never done.
Join me in my 40th year as I cross experiences off of my turning 40 “F*ck it” list.
