There's lots of good things about being 40. Your older and wiser, yeah your brain isn't as plastic as it used to be but it also is better able to stay on topic and has a lot more base knowledge to work from.
It's also a lot more stable. You're not likely to develop schizophrenia and you're 40s, you're much less likely to develop any other mental illness at this age, most of those happen at younger onsets when people's brains are more plastic and developing. Developing. So you're kind of post-developmental, but there's a benefit to that. You are who you are, and that's not exactly fixed but there's a certain stability there
A lot of people do their best working life and their 40s, make the most impact in their 40s and 50s. Because the experience you've gained in life matters
There's nothing here!
