BY MYRA FAYE TURNER We live in a youth-obsessed culture. Women are particularly ridiculed for aging naturally. You might recall the hoopla after the release of Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens when some trolls decided to trash Carrie Fisher’s looks. Fisher, 59, had to actually take to social media and defend herself against a bunch of idiots who felt she looked “old”. Mind you, these same trolls probably hadn’t even been born when Fisher first appeared on the screen and they probably think anyone over the age of 30 is old. I think she looks pretty damn good. In midlife, you naturally start thinking about what you’ve accomplished and what things you’ve missed out on. You might have a crisis and feel restless— feel like you need to do something with your life. This may manifest in reckless or foolish behavior. A man might buy a sports car or get a young trophy wife. Women may think of getting a nip here and a tuck there.
