If you think back to your twenties and thirstiest you realize that love felt like a high-stakes audition, didnât it? You had to perform at your best and show that you were the best version of yourself. You were doing an act, performing success or God knows what, and it did put a lot of pressure on you and made you feel exhausted. But it was normal, because you were chasing a feeling, a status, a future that maybe felt out of your reach.
But once you get past the age of sixty, things change. The âchaseâ lost its importance because not only your knees may start aching more often, but also your brain will calm down. By this point, you have had enough experience to know that all the things that stressed you out in the past werenât worth it. You have seen the best and the worst times in your life; you maybe got divorced, saw your children grow up, lost parents and friends. Well, the list goes on. Youâve gained a set of âsilent lessonsâ that cannot be acquired during youth.
