Comments on: Inspiration and growing older

When I was in my very early twenties I remember thinking and even saying out loud to my (very forgiving) friend who is 14 years older than I am, that I couldn’t wait to get older so I would have some character. I was being goofy but what I meant was that being older meant to me (then) that others would take me seriously. I wish I had known then that it didn’t really matter if anyone else took me seriously, it mattered so much more that I believed that what I was doing was meaningful and that I was making my own choices rather than choices that I hoped would put me in a certain light with others.
Hey, thanks for giving me a place to do a little thinking. I wouldn’t have gone down this little thought path if not for your beautifully written post.

Yes, that is a whole other topic! I think about that too sometimes, which leads to this really deep rabbit hole thought about the importance of this earthly life at all, in comparison to eternity, and if the relationships formed here will be rekindled in the afterlife, and on and on and on. Then my brain says, “I’m too finite for this!!!” And I go back to whatever futile thought I was thinking before…

I don’t so much worry about being funny or interesting. I worry that I’m not leaving behind a trail. That I’m not putting myself out there for the world to know that I am alive in this little house I live in with my kids. IDK. Just pondering your ponderings.
