Accepting My Role in Life
I am at an age when I must accept the role I have in my world, and my own responsibility for how I got here. I can look back and see the road I've traveled, (the corners turned, the bridges burned, the scenery around me, the people traveling with me, and most of all the One Way sign); and I can pinpoint the choices that have brought me to where I am today. Certainly, I still have choices to make, so I can't think that what I'm experiencing is complacency. It's just a simple acceptance of who I am and where I am.
There's no use in pointing at circumstances and other people and blaming them for how I got here. Yeah, stuff happened. Some people are assholes. Fact of the matter is, I still have to live in the here and now, and quite frankly, I'm tired of doing it pissed off. All I can do is make the best choices I can for the future. The past is done, so I'm trying very hard to stop living there.
Is this what Middle Age feels like?
