Yes! Great piece and so true. I am also mid 40’s and have fielded the ‘you look good for your age comment’ I am curious as to why people feel the need to frame it like that. Is it for me? Do they want me to feel flattered or is it simply unconscious ageism invented by society as a marketing tactic. Either way I don’t need it. This is me and I’m more than happy with that.
