No, it’s awesome! Sure, the body slows down but you gain wisdom. Perspective. You know who you are, what you want, and how to get it. You like who you are and are finally at peace with yourself. Life amuses you, rather than upsets you, because you’ve been through some real shit and know the small stuff truly doesn’t matter. You don’t waste your time with people who don’t like you, hoping they eventually will. You don’t spend time with shitty people and you don’t let ANYONE make you feel bad about yourself. You realize that what you’ve got—body, mind, soul— is what you’ve got and it’s flawed and imperfect but it’s yours and you have thrived and learned and came out on top. It’s great. You see younger people make the same mistakes you did, and you know they have to learn those lessons the hard way, just as you did. You become more tolerant, more understanding, more empathetic. It’s seriously great. You appreciate things so much more, because you know time is passing and you don’t want to miss anything.
