A note from Grace

These are the lines I say to myself on the days I need them. Save the ones that sound like you.

Gen X nerve

I survived pay phones. I can survive your opinion.
I've been figuring it out since I rewound cassettes with a pencil.
We didn't have helmets. We had instincts.
I survived dial-up, so a slow start doesn't scare me.
I went from encyclopedias to AI without missing a beat.
I learned on a stick shift, so bumps don't rattle me.
I've changed more than MTV.

Life after 50

Not a midlife crisis. A midlife agenda.
Over the hill? I own the hill.
I've made my peace. Now I'm making plans.
Nothing to prove. Plenty to do.
I have more years ahead than excuses left.
I've outlived several versions of myself. This one stays.
My best chapter has a lot of pages.

For the hard days

I fall, I get up, I apply lipstick.
I trust my timing.
Brave looks good on me.
Built for this.
I bet on me.
Still becoming.

For the good days

I checked. The best is yet to come.
Just getting warmed up.
Wiser. Bolder. Lighter.
The view is better from here.
Grateful and not done.
More adventure, please.
