confusing growing old with growing stale
There's so much life advice that is shoved into our faces on a daily basis about how we need to make the most of our time before it's too late, we need to tell people we love them, do things that scare us and heaven forbid if we have any regrets.
I'm pretty sure that all my regrets can come down to not following my sense of wonder, curiosity and fun.
Whether it was not talking to that woman at the club, not taking that trip with my friends, not spending the day with family... It's all based off wonder, curiosity and fun.
I think when we get old, we settle for stale. The same 9-5, the same people in our lives, the same routine... Same, same, same. We become dull and we can visibly see someone stale because someone who's curious, who's having fun and who's full of wonder can't do anything but fucking shine.
I'm not at a point where I'm stale, I certainly don't feel stale. There's too much for me to learn about and to attempt before I grow stale.
I don't have any mind-blowing tips or tricks, I don't have much in the way of insight into how you can make life better, because the truth is that I think it's pretty simple. Keep a sense of wonder, follow your curiosity and have a whole load of fun doing it.
You owe it to yourself.
