Nice this is good! I aslo particularly responded to the crime of being bought into the world.

I like to think I'm achieving a lot of these but I'm still only in my 40s, and the hill keeps getting steeper as I age...

I’m glad it resonated with you! 😄

If you don’t mind me asking, being in your 40s, what are one of those things that’s a focus for you?

Just curious about if your perspective is different now on certain areas than it was 10 years ago. Like maybe family and friends means a lot more!

I just try to leave things better than I found them, to be honest.

What's been a little unsettling is I've completely changed perspective on a bunch of things that has almost left me out of touch with who I was. On top of realizing how fallible or memories are and how our senses are borderline untrustworthy, I just try to make the most of what's around, get through the day and not worry too much about the big picture...

I appreciate the response! And that definitely makes sense. I can see how the dissonance between old memories, beliefs, and values and new ones could cause us to wonder what our true self is

Thanks for that 🙌
