The older I get...

The less solid and certain everything becomes. I used to believe in extremes, in concrete black and white, good and evil, right and wrong and I was unwilling to ever bend. No breaks, no exceptions, not even for myself. I even held people (my self included) accountable for things they felt and thought.

Now I understand that all that shit just depends on where you happen to be standing at any given moment. And that everybody bends...or they will shatter. So tell me, Clowns. Is that the beginning of wisdom, or is it loss of conviction?
 
The older I get the more I realize that to love someone completely means you care more about their happiness then your own.
 
The older I get, the less I enjoy desserts. And this really bums me out.
 
The older I get the less patience I have for Bull crap, I've discovered as I age that I no longer bite my tongue. If I think it, I'm saying it and well... I'm not a very nice person for the most part.
 
The older I get,the more often I have to pee. No, wait....maybe it's the more I drink the more I have to pee. Or the older I get the more I drink.
 
The older I get the more pain I feel and the bumps and bruises take longer to heal.
 
TOIG the more I enjoy simple things like rocking out to 70's music while my 11 year old tells me how cool it is (was?).
 
TOIG...I realize that stupid, little stuff doesn't really matter. ;)
 
THOIG the less I worry about what others think and focus more on things in my control.
