I am rooting for you! I just completed a Bachelor's of Mathematics in December before my 40th birthday this year. I am so glad to hear about the effects you're feeling as you learn. I too experienced a deep sense of calm and confidence as I learned to write proofs. Surprisingly, none of my younger classmates agreed! So I chalked it up to being older and more mature in general.
Now I feel vastly more mature than I did before I began my degree! I have that same belief and confidence that no problem I face is unsolvable. I've also discovered a much deeper love of learning itself, and a desire to continue studying long into the future, and that interest includes but is not limited to mathematics! I want to have many different hobbies and learn all about how the world works.
