    I’ve figured out a lot as I’ve gotten older, but In many cases it has taken a lot of time and a lot of mistakes to get there. Plus, just because you’ve figured something out, that doesn’t necessarily mean your life will be any easier or better. One of the things I’ve figured out is that many things are outside of my control, and there isn’t a damn thing I can do about them. I’ve also figured out that there are a lot of things that are within my power to change, but knowing and doing are two different things.

    I’m 42 years old and if my younger self could see where he would end up, he would probably be furious that he hasn’t accomplished more, that he isn’t more of a success, but that idiot can kiss my ass. He doesn’t know shit.

      Exactly. My life is a hot mess, and I could tell myself exactly how to fix it, but actually doing those things is the hard part.
