Changes Over 25 Years
Comparing myself now to many years ago reveals huge shifts, inside and out.
Comparing myself now to many years ago reveals huge shifts, inside and out.
At 20, I brimmed with naive confidence, felt indestructible. Now I tread cautiously, all too aware of mortality. My younger self relished spontaneity and late nights out, unlike today where I crave routine, rarely stay up past 11 pm.
Physically, I’ve never gained weight and aches have never troubled my body, and with age comes emotional growth — I’m calmer now, clear on my values, and treasure meaningful connections.
My yesterdays contained more drama, today more peace. Time has granted me self-knowledge unavailable to my younger self, and while I miss the vigour of youth, I wouldn’t want to relinquish the hard-earned wisdom age brings.
I’m grateful this lifelong journey reveals new gifts at every stage.
