Back in my day

I think time generally messes with me somehow. It’s hard for me to imagine that one day all of this is gonna be vintage. Or old school. Not too far down the line, it’s gonna be a lot of “back in my day,” about things that seem set in stone right now.

Kind of excited for this era. I enjoy growing with the times and undergoing constant change. The big difference here, is that with age, some ego must be set aside. Possibly for the first time, you learn much more from the youth rather than people perceived as “masters.”

This is probably what makes so many cranky old folks. It’s not always easy to accept knowledge from the youth. Sometimes it’s humiliating. 

What I’ve noticed is the people I love to be around, regardless of their age, are curious. They’ll learn at least something from anybody. That’s not just what it takes to be a “cool old person,” but it’s generally what can make a life fulfilling and worth living.
