I so know what you mean! What was important to me 10 years ago.......just seems so insignificant now.
Have you ever tried to pace out the stages in your life? For a while, different changes seemed to always happen to me every three years. I would be totally focused on one thing, then three years later........BOOM......it would totally change. Then you hit a certain age.......and without knowing it.....you go three years.....four years......five years......and you all of a sudden realize you are sustaining focus on just ONE thing without moving on. It blew my mind when I realized it. And now I look back and can't for the life of me figure out how it happened. lol
Did I just sorta kinda maybe grow up? **shakes head** Nahhhhhh.........surely that can't be it. ;)

Absolutely. However this perspective only comes as you grow older. Unfortunately we never have the power of hindsight. Best example i can think of is - As a young man recently married I attended a party with some friends from work. One of these was approaching retirement. during a long conversation he said to me "I really envy you your youth" at the time I didn`t understand - but now some 30 years later I do

FANTASTIC question!!
I, too, think about this often. I look back at things I felt at the time were "apocalyptical" in my life! LOL!! But things have a funny way of working out, & the sun keeps coming up every day.
Amazing

Yes things that I was so worried and ossesive about before,never have that same edge years later-life is always evolving and the changes are sometimes good sometimes bad,butone thing we worry about today is the last thing we think of tomorrow.
