Getting old is great. I mean, there are obvious downsides like your body not working quite like it used to, but overall I think it's great. Each year that passes is another year of growth and a new pile of experiences under my belt.
My life has been very difficult in a lot of ways the past few years. So while I could respond to that by feeling sorry for myself or trying to avoid thinking about it I view it differently. It has been an opportunity to mature a lot in a relatively short amount of time. I am, experience wise, a lot older than my chronological age and I am going to keep that trend up as much as I can.
I certainly hope that the next few years aren't as hard as the last few, but either way I'm gonna milk them for all their worth. Maturity doesn't inherently come with age, but if it doesn't you are doing it wrong.
