We can re-center by simply remembering what we do know.
It is always enough, always more than what we don’t know.

Your true age is more than a number …
She’d kill me if she knew I felt this way — I love her and would marry her, BUT she’s 10 years older than I am. I’m 36 and she’s 46. What happens when I’m 56 and she’s 66?
Age is a number. Theoretically, it’s indicative of how mature we are. But we find exceptions to that faster than we can get to the end of the sentence. But beauty fades, right? Nah — we all know people who get better looking. Skin loses its resilience? True enough, but not at the same rate.
And in much the same way, some people seem to put on the brakes and stop learning and growing at 40, while others seem to stay interested and interesting as long as they live. Some people stay physically vibrant and active into their 90s and counting; some start to “die” in their 40s.
“I don’t believe one grows older. I think that what happens early on in life is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates,” said T. S. Eliot.
We’re learning, though. We look younger and die older. What used to be old is still young … and the older we get, the younger it is.… More
Why do women have sex?
Despite all our science, many men still talk about what women want as though it’s beyond their comprehension. In light of recent research, maybe men confuse what women want from a long-term relationship with what women want from sex!

What women ultimately want in a relationship is simply to be known and loved to the core by a trusted companion (that’s what men ultimately want, as well). What women want from sex, on the other hand, varies from woman to woman, and from one situation to another.
I asked David Buss, noted psychologist and co-author of well-researched “Why Women Have Sex,” to help dispel some of the confusion.
“The takeaway from the book is that women have a complex sexual psychology that cannot be easily summarized by a few things,” says Buss. “Women have sex for dozens or hundreds of reasons, from feeling sorry for a guy to getting revenge on a guy; from consummating a love relationship to scratching a sexual itch; from beating out other females to doing a favor for a friend.… More
