Once I Hit a Certain Age...

I don’t remember when it was exactly, but it started after I turned 40. I am not sure if it was a natural process or if it happened due to situations where the world (or people in it) tried to pull my leg or even hurt me. It’s likely a combination of both.

It becomes easier and easier to see through certain things or people, like a trained eye, to see shit coming right at you from miles away and get less impressed by people trying to impress you with unimpressive stuff.

Becoming older brings a lot more wisdom and strength, but… does strength resemble bitter? Is being wise and strong a sign that one gave up trying? That one chose to find comfort in the idea that the life they set up works against them instead of putting some courage and work into finding more happiness.

I have a chance at happiness, but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy. It comes hand in hand with making peace with the past at a certain point in life and stopping licking the wounds of the past.

Reading about a deeper meaning of illness, I also know that untreated trauma can eventually have its effects on health. So, I am planning to look some of my demons in the eyes again in this new year. I firmly believe that letting go is a big part of living a happy life.

But is letting go the same as processing trauma? I don’t believe so. I think I have some work to do (who doesn’t…). And although some things scare the hell out of me, I will before they continue to make me skeptical and maybe even bitter.

One more resolution for 2024 is to keep facing the future with an open mind, striving not to be overly distrustful, and allowing myself to be impressed by the beauty and marvel of life’s impressive unexpected.
