3. Whenever I lose self-confidence

because I think that age is getting to me, I think back on all the dumb shit I did all the way back to childhood. Then I realize that I am old and wise now....comparatively speaking.

But old age has it's benefits too, and I try to remember that. Things like how I don't give a crap anymore if I drop over to a neighbor's barbecue in my jammie pants....when I was younger, I would never have been caught dead out of the house without trying to look good. Or how I can wear flat shoes now, even though the style is super high heels. We get away with so much more now because we don't have to worry about being out of fashion. We absolutely know that we are out of fashion and fighting it will only make us look pathetic anyways.

Here's to old age!
