- Age is a Wonderful Process
The title used to be my tumblr blog once upon a time.
Yeah I used to be THAT guy. Heck, I still am THAT guy, just 17 years later, married and a born again Christian.
So, “Age is a wonderful process”. However cheesy it sounds (I was 13 at the time) it still resonates with me at the ripe old age of 30. When I came up with that the thought was simple. I wanted to enter the mindset where the good and the bad were both worthy of being a part of your life. That first kiss should hold as much value as that first break up. They’re both equally important life events and the desperation to find meaning in the ones that clearly sucked brought that thought.
Now it feels like that mindset has been what’s helped me build a mindset of constant development. What can I learn about me being let go from my first job? My first fight with my wife? My first conflict with my faith? Being able to analyze my situation from a “what can I learn from this and appreciate that life threw it my way” has been a secret superpower. Most situations that were hard hitting growing up, I’m able to look back on them and be grateful that it came with a learning opportunity.
That’s not to say they don’t hurt, even now from time to time, but I can’t say that event was just meaningless sadness.
Why did this merit a blog post? I don’t know. I sat here thinking about what my first post should be and I thought it should be about the first time I created something that resembled a forum/an about me.
My goal for my blogs are just to put myself out there. Who knows, maybe you’ll laugh, maybe you’ll judge me, maybe I’ll impart some wisdom, maybe I’ll just upset you. It’s not my intention, I just remembered how fun it was to put your experiences online without worrying about what other people had to say about it.
I hope you’ll stay, I hope I’ll write something that instills a new critical thought, but most of all, I hope you’ll constantly be thinking of what content you can consume that will instill growth in your life
Have a wonderful life!
