“People may call what happens at midlife a 'crisis,' but it’s not. It’s an unravelling a time when you feel a desperate pull to live the life you want to live, not the one you’re ‘supposed’ to live.”

Simplified Meaning:
Midlife isn't really a crisis but an important time when people start to deeply think about their lives. Imagine you've been following a path that others expected of you, like a job chosen by your parents or a lifestyle society approves of. At a certain age, you might feel a strong urge to change and do what truly makes you happy. It's like finally realizing that you want to be an artist instead of staying in an office job. During this period, you start to see what's really important to you and make changes to follow your true passions. This isn't a problem but a natural part of finding your real self and choosing a path that feels right for you.
