My view on Midlife Crisis

I am not really sure why I have decided to start this blog, I did just start a web site that I have done nothing with, and quite honestly, not sure I ever will.  I guess I just like to be on the computer more than most and I feel the need to interact with people. Ordinarily I have been a very shy person, until I started my facebook page that is!  I created 'Midlife Crisis Awakening' https://www.facebook.com/LoVeMiDliFe? because I was not in a very happy place in my life.  Do I believe it was a midlife crisis, no.  I believe I had an awakening of sorts. I was in an unhappy place and used my page as my outlet.  I have never really opened up to my husband or my friends about how I felt.  I was able to do that through my page as an anonymous person, and I liked that.  Not being judged for saying, thinking, or doing things I would normally not in 'real' life.  I have always been the one who wanted to help others and unable to ask for help for myself.  I have learned a lot about myself and others in this process.  I have discovered that I AM the person you see on my page, and I kind of like her!  I believe this is the person I have always been, just afraid to let that side be seen for what ever reason.  I am still working on that part! I guess you could say, that now that I have reached the 'midpoint' in my life, I am awakening to a whole new thought process.  I couldn't say this four months ago, but it will be a journey I look forward to continuing to discover with my husband for the rest of my life.
