You become more confident about yourself and your place in the world, and the feeling of insecurity leaves. Also, you become far less susceptible to danger and making mistakes.

You gradually realise that being part of the group is not only not worth the effort; its part of the way advertisers target you. So you learn to go your own way. THATS when you start meeting the worthwhile people.
Also your kids get off your hands directly (they never really leave) and you can do things you want for a change. Then, if you have a sadistic nature, you get to use the grankids to torture your own kids. (I'm not allowed to buy my 3YO grandson a drum kit. But his Scottish grandmother thinks a junior set of bagpipes will be fine in a couple of years. :))Like (3)

I have more experience so I can see around a few more of the corners. I have a better understanding of who my true friends are. I know when I really need to be right and when I would prefer to keep the peace. And I am all done wishing I was some other age. It is now about being at the top of my game emotionally and physically at the age I am right now. 44 is just the horse I have to ride. I am at peace with that.

For me it's been FINALLY feeling more comfortable with who I am. My twenties ducked because I honestly didn't know who I was yet (even though I thought I did).
