Well I am 32 and my life has definately changed a lot in the last couple of years but I don't know if it is better or worse. I was always a late bloomer but I had faith that things would start to really happen for me some day and now I am worried that all my philosophies are crap and I could be making much better choices for myself but I don't know what they should be. Is there is something I am overlooking which will be the key to unlocking my potential? Maybe it is this process of thinking about it that is the real change, as I am only just starting to feel like a grown-up and a woman rather than a girl.

I am now 33 and well at the moment my life is hell. Was married until last year - it was me who ended it so I cant complain about that but when in my 20's and things were good I was much more happier than I am now. I dont know where I'm going, I have been soul-searching but dont seem to have found any answers. Thought I had it all when I met someone and fell deeply and truely in love but that didnt work either and I am still truely in love with him. the only good thing that I've learned is how sitting back and not grasping opportunities can make you unhappy maybe if good opportunities come again I will be able to reach out!

Hello there!

I'm a 33 old female Cappie and I've never been happier than in the past year! They say Cappies get younger when they get older, that's because they become more confident. And that makes life a whole lot easier....

But I'm only confident now because I had a serious breakdown when I was 28. I grew up as a scared restricted suppressed insecure girl, until I met someone who was completely the opposite of me! I was afraid of her and couldn't handle her, so eventually I broke down.

Because of the breakdown I was forced to take a good look at myself and rebuild myself. That meant I had to stop blaming MYSELF for all the things that had gone wrong and to start to appreciate myself! That's the key to happiness, to learn to love yourself first.

Cappies grow up as insecure people, not realising their potential. People always said I was too serious and too honest, and that hurts a child.

Nowadays I appreciate myself and I don't suppress my feelings anymore, something that's essential to overcome that shyness we Cappies have. I overcame my shyness by changing glasses for contactlenses and it made me feel beautiful! And when you feel beautiful you act beautiful and people will notice you and like you...

So the bottom line is: when you get older you can start to love yourself more and then things will get a whole lot easier in life! Learning to trust YOURSELF is the most important thing in life!

Well, I'm way past 30 (41) and just got over some hurdles..failed jobs, marriage...and now that I'm on my own again, I'm rediscovering myself. Times like these give one an opportunity to sit back and recall past mistakes, relearn, regroup.. and move on positively. Romance is the only department I'm having problems with at the moment (seems it's the younger guys who're after me..LOL), but other than that I'd say things are on the up and up!

I am a 40 year old Cappy and what is with it with the younger guys??not that I'm complaining I do find that men my age not able to keep up with me.

As I get older I have found that I have had many lives in my lifetime. This last time it was I left my husband and got laid-off from my job.

Started dating again ?found a new job.

Now here we go again. Getting ready to get laid-off again. It has been a roller coaster.

I am just like the reader above?.I was very shy growing up?..The older I get the braver I get. Nothing shy about me anymore.

I'm not so sure things get easier for us as we get older?.I think we just have been through so much we don't notice it as much. Maybe we don't need to take care of people as much when we get older.
