One of the best parts of midlife is finally being done with other people’s expectations.
The instinct to shrink, perform, smooth the edges, and keep the peace for everyone but yourself, starts to lose its grip.
For Naomi Watts, getting older has meant letting those old obligations fall away. Underneath the self-editing is something far more interesting: the woman you are beneath the surface. A woman with a clear sense of what she wants, what she values, and who gets access to her.
Pleasure shifts from proving to experiencing, while intimacy becomes rooted in what you want, who you want, and what you’re no longer willing to compromise.
There is freedom in reaching an age where being true to yourself matters more than being palatable to everyone else.
