Hi there, this is Sarah. What are we talking about?
Hey, y'all. I'm Jon Glynn-Hill, and this is Explain It To Me. Today, we're talking about doing it, specifically middle-aged ladies doing it and doing it well.
This week, we're giving some attention to a generation that we don't talk about much, Gen X. We're starting off with Mireille Silcoff, who wrote a piece about her own experiences with aging and one of the ways that getting older has been pretty great.
Check it out.
I split up from my ex in my late 40s. And when I came out of it, I just thought that what lay ahead of me would be a pretty spinsterish existence. I was really, really sick for a long time in my adulthood. And my marriage was very long and there were two children. And I just felt like, well, who is going to want this bag of problems?
And now I'm 50 and, you know, that's what life is going to be like. I'm going to be Orange P. Cote in Masterpiece Theatre and taking care of my kids and hopefully remobilizing my writing, and that's it. And then instead what happened was, you know, a lot of wonderful new relationships with a lot of wonderful men and the kind of sex that I don't think I had even had in my 20s.
