Man I'll tell you what though being old rocks. Ok physically maybe not so much but Jesus life gets easier once you drop all the bullshit you got worked up about when you were young. I mean the world being on fire isn't great but on a personal level I'm not insecure or worried about much of anything any more. Straight blissing.
