I think that I have finally discovered the truest indicator that one is over his mid-life crisis. When you are desperately trying to re-live the greatest moments of your youth and, whilst doing so, you are behaving like you are half your age, then you are in the middle of a mid-life crisis.

However, when you are trying to relive those moments and you are fully aware that you no longer bend and you take far longer to mend, then you have matured beyond your mid-life crisis. I think I am there.

When I was training hard and fighting, I felt like I was truly a part of the group of 20 somethings that comprised the Fight Team. Now I still train hard but I cant wait to get home and put my feet up. I admire the ability and fitness of the 20 somethings, but I no longer aspire to be like them. If I am sore in the morning I know I am keeping fit and I am happy with that.

Dirt bike riding, BMX and acrobatics are what is aging me. Two of these sports I do with my kids as the same two I used to do when I was a kid. Am I trying to recapture my youth? No, because this time around I have evolved the dominant conservative chromosome that I lacked as a teenager. It stops me from stepping over the edge and into the abyss: It reminds me to back off when I have had my fun and not to push my luck. It ensures that I make it back home every night, where I can sit by the fire, next to my wife, with my feet up. 

I conclude that I have wasted enough nights in Emergency, waiting patiently for the Triage nurse to call me up. I am semi-matured.All Rights Reserved

Fighting for Rose by whitetigerpaw

-Blake- Rose stands not too far in front of the ring looking at me, her face is pale and my gut twists in ways it never has. She shouldn't be here, why the hell is she here? My hands drop to my side, the victorious feeling once flowing through me is replaced with one of dread. She saw me fighting. ------- -Rose- "Alright. Time for you to go." He says. I feel the pull on my arm as he tries to take me away but my feet feel like they are glued to the ground as I continue to look at Blake. He has a little smirk on his face as he looks over the crowd. A look so completely different than any of the ones I saw the other day. Then our eyes meet, and his smirk drops. He drops his hands that were just held high in victory and looks at me like he's seeing a ghost. The guard pulls harder on my arm and I go flying back into his chest. "Listen here, I don't want to manhandle you, so do as I fucking say. Move." He growls as he pushes me into the crowd of celebrating people. I do what he says and start walking towards the exit, but I look over my shoulder one last time before I'm too far in the crowd to see anything. Blake's hands are fisted by his side and his face is red with anger, his eyes are focused on the hands that are on me pushing me away from him. ----- I am the original owner of this book, please do not copy.

Winning Back Mr. Right by kimguan1201

Life is too short to be anything but ordinary. That being said, I learned how to play the guitar one day and wrote songs about love. My guitar skills maybe limited but I had so much fond memories that the callous on my fingers made a good souvenir on that musical stage in my life. As the years passed, I began taking interest in art; painting in particular. So I collected all the coloring materials I can find and start sketching in this huge white pad I got from some local bookstore. My brothers can sketch and since we share the same DNA, it's probably one of the reasons why I do contain a pinch of that same talent. To this date, sketching and painting are the two hobbies I still find interesting especially on stressful days and lonely nights. Call me greedy. It didn't stop there. My reading habit became so much more persistent that I also took a liking on writing. Wattpad paved a way for me to express myself, to show the world that I can be whoever I want to be as long as I put my heart and mind (together with a lot of hard work) to it. Thus, Winning Back Mr. Right was born. Like all relationships, one has the discretion of fulfilling, disappointing, and enduring at the same time. And just like the other girls out there, we need to find inspiration or simply to get stoked. Winning Back Mr. Right is a story about a beautiful, young lady named Airie. Airie is loved and cherished by Nathaniel, who is every girl's Mr. McDreamy. The couple is what the millenials would term today as #relationshipgoals. One day, her world turned upside down upon meeting the not-so-stranger-after-all Kevin, who happens to be every girl's Mr. McSteamy. Airie makes a mistake and crosses the line. Is love really enough to make a relationship work? Does being with someone for a long time guarantee a lifetime together? How she picked up the pieces and redeemed her rebel heart will lead her to Mr. Right. The question is...who exactly is Mr. Right?

Not me. (2023) by MineOnlyFriend2

so, I've been struggling for a long time now, and I never told anyone about it. I've never opened up. but I met someone who understands how I feel, and I'm beginning to feel again. I don't know how to do it, but I finally feel I can fight. I've been so exhausted. I'm not better, I'm not sure if i ever will be, but I'm not numb, not entirely. I can't say how I'm feeling, or what i am going to write, but if you want it, it's here. This is for you. For everyone who was made to be the villain by those meant to be by their sides. For everyone with a sensitive heart made to grow strong much too quickly. For everyone who struggles to get out of bed in the morning. For everyone who never could find the words to say why. For everyone who struggles to feel and for everyone who feels too much. For everyone who had to pick themselves back up. For everyone who had to parent themselves. For everyone fighting an invisible battle. For everyone who has been underestimated. For everyone who has to flee to other worlds to cope. For everyone who found other means to silence their voices. For everyone who was silenced. For everyone who was over powered. For everyone who was made to be less. For everyone who had to watch someone else suffer and stay silent. For everyone asking themselves, why? Why would you do this? What did I do? Why is this happening to me? It was never your fault.

Guardian (mxm) by Forever_Be_Loved

I know I'm not worthy of a second chance. I've taken away so many others' second chances. I took their lives in my hands and each time chose mine over theirs. It didn't matter who they were, if they had family, how old they were. I had a job to do. If I heard even a whisper, it was over. I had to. I didn't want to, but I had to. It didn't even matter in the end. She's gone now. I'm all alone. Somehow, for some reason, a second chance was bestowed on me. But I don't want it. I can't have it. And he knows it too.

I Love to Hate you by maluwrittings

-- "You think you're so tough hm?" He says, getting closer to me. Both of our eyes lustful, deep and glued to each other's. "I am" I certify the one standing in front of me, our proximity making me nervous, but I'm refusing to show any signs of it. "You're testing my patience, princess." He admits as his hands lay lazily on my neck, I smirk at his sentence. "You're either leaving this place with a black eye or a hickey" He announces. "You wouldn't dare to kiss me." I bark back, his smirk growing as mine fades away. "Try me, Rora." He states, with the goddamn nickname. ---------- !! - It does contain mentions of sexual references, mature themes and strong verbiage.
