Can we be ever too old for new beginnings ?

A little more than five years ago, i was freelance web editor, keeping up a blog and an instagram account... a period of crisis after a painful grief and loss of a job i have been invested way too much in.
It took me almost a year from leaving Paris to get back in my hometown in the north east of France and began a new job in retail...taking things back from scratch and moving to Sweden... opening a new chapter as professionally as personally, taking this job as a new chance in life at nearly 50 years old when i had already heard many, many times that i was maybe a little too old for new beginnings.

4 years later, i am back to writing a blog, a new one... not that i did not like the one i had before but 5 years without updating it, well... it seemed it was an opportunity to create a new one more fitted to my life as it is now, in Stockholm, still working for the same retail company, clearly over 50 years old with natural grey hair, wrinkles, in the throes of perimenopause and... enjoying a new love in my life.

Was it and is it still difficult to embrace all that changes ? 
Yes. 
Definitely.
Would i do it again if i had the opportunity to step back in time ? 
Yes. 
Definitely.

So here we are, me writing about this new life i am building and hopefully you reading !
