In the second half of life, I’ve found that meaning doesn’t come from chasing more, but from learning to live more deeply with less — less noise, less pressure, less pretending. What used to define me no longer fits, and instead of fighting that loss, I’ve started to see it as space being cleared for something more honest. I find meaning now in presence: walking slowly, listening closely, creating without needing applause, and connecting with people in ways that feel real. It’s not about reinventing myself; it’s about returning to the self I left behind while trying to “become” someone.
