Not all love is the same, which is one of the most peculiar truths in life. Your love is as unique as the individual you feel it for. I think that’s one of the greatest paradoxes we will live through. It seems to me, there is little choice in how big it is, or how hard it hits. There’s no telling what it will do to you when you enter the arena, and that is why it can be a force we sometimes fight; because it has felt like a battle we’ve lost before.

Creator, mother, lover, and social media phenomenon Tova Leigh explores what the hell you are supposed to do when you find yourself living a life you don't remember signing up for. I was bored, angry, tired, and sad. I felt all alone yet I had nothing to complain about. I had a good job, a husband who wasn't shagging his assistant, three children who apart from being the occasional a**holes were pretty good kids; a house, a dog, and everything else we are told as little girls we should aspire to. But inside, I was growing restless.

Glem Nietzsche, glem Marx, glem Stauning og Mao og Che Guevara! Min skæbne blev beseglet den 4. juni 1964 i K.B. Hallen. The Beatles spillede, jeg var 14 år, og indtil da ville jeg gerne være læge.

Det må være en plade, nogen spiller, en afspilning fra en af hendes film, stemmen som alle kender og som sang om diamanter og 'Bye, bye, baby' og 'Somebody loves me', blondine-lillepige-stemmen - der har næppe været magen til stemme før."

How can I be nearing middle age when 26 feels like yesterday? After the craziness of my 20s and hard work of my 30s, what’s next? Who am I now that youth is behind me? These were the questions Lise Carlaw and Sarah Wills asked themselves as they entered a milestone decade—their 40s. And they’re not alone. The second phase of life can seem daunting. But it’s so much more too. There is power in knowing who you are, ditching ‘nice’ for what’s important and arriving at the stage in your life when you decide rather than ‘slide’.
