The thing nobody tells you about turning 40

It is not the body. The body you can see coming, and honestly the gym handles most of it. It is that you suddenly know how long a decade takes. At 25 a decade was an abstraction. At 40 you have watched three of them go by and you can feel exactly how fast the next one will move. It made me ruthless about who I spend time with. That is the only real change.
