The Accumulation of Experiences

When the time strikes 4:Tres A(ge)M

I recently celebrated my 43rd trip around the sun.

According to the man-made construct of time, it’s kind of wow to think about, and supposedly the age where you start to realize you’re getting older, which is kind of dumb AF IMO because I’ve been told I’m an old soul since small kid time. An LMAO aspect of aging is that number could skew North or South depending on what the data shows based how biologically healthy we actually are vs. marking age via the chronological passage of human understanding of time.

How am I older when it only just feels like I’ve started to live?

“Life can only be understood forward; but must be lived backwards.”

-Soren Kierkegaard

It’s all pretty unf*cking real.

I felt pretty terrible mentally and emotionally throughout my 20s, which improved some then dipped to go alongside a slew of physical injuries in my 30s. Thus far in my 40s, applying all that I have learned, I’d argue that I’m significantly in a better place.

Something about good ole overall growth that comes with:

• the accumulation of experiences (since we’re not in agreement on the passage of time)

• regular therapy

• doing a better job of both giving and not giving a f*ck where most applicable

• other TBD

And that’s also just really odd because my journey has grown far more complex with more responsibilities.

Yet, as difficult as it is, it’s easier to manage.

How we can be more efficient in our movements as we grow ‘older’ or something?

Somehow my vision got better and my eye doctor had to change my prescription because whatever I had before was too strong.

See above: accumulation of experiences

Are we really older?

Guess if I’m ‘lucky’ more trips around the sun will tell.
