This week I'm getting into that 9PM moment when everything is technically fine and a voice in your chest goes, wait, is this it? And instead of saying it out loud, you go alphabetize the spice rack. We get into why that question isn't ingratitude, it's a curve. Researchers have tracked a U shaped happiness curve across a hundred countries that bottoms out in your mid forties and climbs back up after.
We get into Betty Friedan naming the problem that has no name in 1963, and the women who answered it by redecorating and moving, which is to say reorganizing the pantry sixty years ago. We get into how perimenopause turns up the volume, since the hormone shift lands right at the bottom of that U. And we get into the hardest part, naming the thing instead of organizing something. I feel restless, and I think I want something for myself.
