Do you know what?

Don't shut up.

It's great.

I can imagine you crawling out here at the ends of it going, oh my God, I'm right.

Yeah.

But no, I think that there is a huge correlation between who you are, maybe at 60, if you take that as your postmenopausal kind of 60, and who you were when you were maybe about 18 and leaving school.

You know that feeling of, God, the world is my oyster.

I can choose to do whatever I want to do.

You have a confidence and you have an optimism about life and a hunger for life.

And then life descends and, you know,

Career, educate, you know, whether it's college.

My day, nobody went to college unless you want to be a doctor or a teacher, maybe.

But whether it's college, whether it's work, whether it's relationships, whether it's parenting and mortgage, all these things descend.

And, you know, I would not go back to my 30s or 40s if you paid me and gave me a new face and new hair.

I would not go back to those years because they were hard work.

And they're harder now.

I see it with my daughter.

They're harder now.

It actually keeps getting better.

And I feel very similar now to how I did when I was leaving school.
