The concept of a midlife crisis has been circulating in popular culture for decades, often portrayed as a period of dramatic upheaval and self-doubt. It typically occurs in the late 40s or early 50s, when individuals face the realization that their youth is fading and they may not achieve all the goals they had set for themselves. I am turning 38 this year and the realization indeed came to me and affected my major decision making. It is real and it hit hard.
