Today I Am 36
June 24th, 2010 — 4:29am
Some things that I know are true now that I am 36:
- Backfat is a real thing. I laughed it off when I was told about it in my 20s but it is very, very real.
- Pretty much everything my parents ever told me about life is true.
- Hangovers do get worse as you get older.
- Assuming that everyone has the best of intentions is a bad idea. The trick is to have them yourself and let other people prove that they have them too.
- Everything that is going on right now in your life, whether good or bad, won’t matter to you in 5 years so don’t stress out about it.
- My Dad was right – the music I was listening to when I was 13 WAS awful. But at the time it was amazing.
- Not taking risks and doing what you love is a waste. You only have a limited time here, why do things that you hate and that make you miserable?
