There are some unexpected aspects to aging that I hadn't anticipated.
I always believed that as I grew older, my life would become clearer and more confident. But in reality, I've found that problems have increased—though not in a terrible way, but rather in a quieter, more rational manner.
I'm gradually reassessing my capabilities and energy levels, readjusting my perspectives on certain matters. Things that once seemed unreasonable now feel like I'd still choose the same path if given the chance again.
These shifts in outlook don't happen overnight—they unfold slowly and quietly, sometimes bringing me peace, other times the opposite.
I wonder if others have experienced something similar
