On growing older

cataragonI'm in the last few minutes of my twenties tonight.
Tomorrow I turn thirty.
I never wanted to be someone who regretted the time passing, or lied about my age to try and stave off the years, to cling to a dying youth. So I try not to.
It does lead to a certain amount of introspection though. The last decade has been interesting. I don't know that I neccesarily made the best use of the last ten years, but at least I can look back, on the eve of another decade, and not regret a whole lot of things I didn't do.
I do sometimes wish I had more accomplishments to my name at this point, but I am grateful that I made a good try at mis-spending my youth properly. I never want to be old and wishing I'd done more living with my life.
I've been bad. I've been good. I've lived.
I'm satisfied.
