Someone recently asked me what has changed in me as I got older. The answer is that I’m more tired, and this tiredness has made me treasure peace so much more. I’m too old for conflict, drama, and dishonest people.
I have become very selective of who I let into my space.
I honor those who give me respect, and I give them respect in return.
I appreciate those who give me time, and I give them time in return.
I value those who give me love, and I return their love to show that I value them.
I don’t play silly games to get attention. I focus on what makes me happy. I try to be kind to others, understanding that they don’t need to be kind in return. I try to help others without trying to change anyone. I focus only on changing myself to become the type of human being I am comfortable with.
I chase no one, but I’m grateful for the ones who have chosen to be around me.
Because as you get older, you get tired, and you understand that energy is not something that should be wasted on menial worthless things. So, you learn to give your energy to the things that bring you peace.
I wish you peace, my friends.
