Post-Divorce DDLG Experimentation

So here I am, newly single after 15 years of marriage and suddenly finding myself in this bizarre new world where Daddy/kink dynamics are all the rage online. Not that I've ever considered it before, but now? Seems to have a certain... appeal. Last night was my first real foray into anything like this - called an old flame (yes, we still talk), who happens to be way younger than me and always flirted with the idea of DDLG stuff. We talked about all sorts of things that are probably best left unsaid here, but suffice it to say, there was a definite spark. It's not like we did anything hardcore or anything - but there was definitely an undercurrent of something more, something that feels both thrilling and terrifying at the same time. So now I'm sitting here this morning, coffee in hand, trying to figure out if all this is normal for someone my age just starting down this path. Am I crazy? Is it too late for me to start exploring something like this seriously? Should I even bother? Anyone else ever go through a similar awakening?
