Do I have to act my age?
My name is Polly and I'm 47. I am single, and my children have left home. I am very successful in my career, and have a lot of friends, but I'm not satisfied. I long to change my life. I want to live abroad, paint, and write poetry, but my friends tell me I should stop being silly and act my age. What should I do?

"Dear Polly,I'm sure that you're successful in your career paiting and writing but in my opinion you should live abroad ,so you can have a lot of new opportunities maybe can find another friends there .Don't be afraid and enjoy yourself."
Never is later for to try be happy, then Polly, go on being yourself! Perhaps to live abroad can be a great idea! Don´t give up your dreams!
