Age

With my birthday coming up this week, I've been thinking a lot about age...how much it matters and how much it really doesn't. Sure I might not be able to physically do the same things I could when I was in my early twenties...I definitely don't snowboard like I did back then for example. But looking back on all that I've gained through my experiences in life, I realized that I gained a whole lot of wisdom...though I still am not done learning. There are plenty of things I've gotten better at over the years. Most importantly, despite my age, I am still me. I still am myself everyday in my own way. But with age, I have grown much more confident and comfortable being myself. Do I ever wish I could still spin a 360 method grab off a 25 foot table top? Sometimes. But, do I wish I were young again. No way! Things are so much chiller now...more stable, more peaceful, and just a little bit easier because I've lived and learned.
