My creative writing group is all women in our 40s and 50s and we started sharing work about our midlife experiences, but now we're realizing we have very different perspectives on marriage, career, and what freedom looks like at this stage. Our writing is getting more honest but the discussions afterward are getting tense because we're challenging each other's choices in ways that feel personal and judgmental.
More people experience this than they realize.
People using art to explore personal transformation discover their individual journeys involve questioning each other's life choices.
