Experience

As I get a little bit older, I reflect on my younger self and my younger life.

There is simply no substitute for experience.

Age is diversifying part of being human. We go in all kinds of directions. I was reminded of that as a friend from high school just sent photos of us at age 16, 18, and 21. I am now nearly 36. What happens in 15 years? A lot… or so it feels and doesn´t feel.

What does not change, is the ongoing fact that experience cannot be replaced. And the change itself. It would be helpful if change was more comforting considering how constant it is.

I feel clear that I should hope to change more as I get older.
