Lindsay Lohan marks major milestone with emotional message: 'There's still so much I want to create'

Lindsay Lohan has turned 40.

The Mean Girls actress celebrated the milestone on Instagram on Thursday, looking back on her impressive past decade.

"I'm 40 now but I once was...30, grounded, fulfilled, full circle," Lindsay began the emotional note. “This decade changed everything in the most meaningful ways. I got married, became a mother and understood a deeper kind of love, one that reshaped what truly matters."

She further penned, "Returning to Freakier Friday felt like a full-circle moment, a reminder of where I began and how much I've grown along the way. I'm no longer searching for who l am, I'm living it. Choosing family, choosing purpose, and creating a life that feels as good as it looks."

"Everything moved fast, often faster than I could process. Mean Girls became a voice for a generation, Herbie: Fully Loaded carried me into something bigger, brighter, louder," Lindsay continued. "There was success, attention, expectation - and underneath it, a girl still figuring herself out. I was learning through experience, through pressure, through mistakes, trying to hold onto who I was while the world decided who I should be."

"I was already working before I even understood what discipline meant. I've been in this business since I was 18 months old. Days on set, soap operas, scripts in my hands, playing parts while quietly finding pieces of myself," she added.

Concluding the note, Lindsay penned, "There's still so much I want to create. Exciting stories, ones that connect with people and also make them laugh, stories that feel honest and moments that stay with people long after the screen fades."

On the work front, Lindsay will next be seen in the upcoming Hulu series Count My Lies.
