The Older You Get

I am very excited as I begin to type my very first blog.  Now as you read my blog I do not expect any "awweee" pity parties, this is NOT what this blog or any of my future blogs are about.  "So sit back, relax and strap on your seat belt." 

They say the older you get the wiser you become.  I suppose that this saying is not the case for many people, but it does seem to shed a light on most of the human race.  I believe that life teaches us many lessons.  The more we learn from our mistakes or our past experiences, the wiser we tend to become.  As we gain experience, we tend to act different when another similar situation arises.  The way we see things might change.Though I would like to believe that this saying should apply to many...some people seem to grow dumber.

I am a 30 years old and I would like to believe that I have become wiser than I was 10-15 years ago.  I use to sit around and cry about life situations and I couldn't accept the fact that life was not dealing me the hand that I wanted.  A funny thing is that I found myself crying last night about the same thing that I would cry about 10-15 years ago.  I thought that I was wiser and that I should already know that trying to fix something that has been unrepairable is useless, but last night...my past experiences once again took the best of me.  This morning I woke up and asked myself, "what's the worst that could happen."  I also found myself as I layed curled in my life that I was more scared of life than death.  It is very obvious that at my age I have not become as wise as I'd like to be.

Remember that we do not stay forever young and that sometimes we have to let go of who we were in the past and learn from our past experiences (why don't I listen to myself when I am trying to give advice).  Hmmmm....have did I become a wiser person than I was yesterday when I woke up this morning?  Whether I have become wiser or not, what matters is that I have come to accept that only I can make the best of my life.  I will learn to be more grateful for it, I will learn to play with it, flirt with it, embrace it, giving it a new look.  We are always looking for the next thing that will make us happy but in my case my happiness depends on the situation I'm in. 

Strength, courage, and motivation is what I ask for.  I hope that for those who are reading my first blog live life to the fullest and have the strength to overcome any past experiences.
