>>6603178>the thing that changes is YOU not the worldPreach it brother! I didn't really get my shit together until I was... well I'm 40 now and kinda only just now getting there LOL...
But I'm grateful every single day for every stupid moment of my life, all of it, the highs and the lows. And not just because "it made me who I am"... that's bullshit, the "who I am" trap is of no interest to me any more... but just that I feel privileged to have had the experience. I got to hurt. I got to laugh. I got to sit bored on concrete steps once waiting for a bus to come. I was sick a few times and I helped people move and had arguments with my wife and ate a really good balogna sandwich and... lived. Thank God... if there is such a thing... for every stupid little moment.
And for the record I'm not on anything. It's just the perspective you get after awhile, you know? The years start to drag, you eventually get tired of grumbling, and finally just sit restfully, letting what shall be, be... and it hits you what a marvel it is to live a life. Any life.
