With my twenty-seventh birthday quickly approaching, of course I have to talk about how getting old sucks lol. I know being in your twenties isn’t old. In fact, it’s quite young. I’m still in the early one third of my life. But I just really dislike birthdays and this one isn’t any different. Mostly because I feel like I haven’t achieved as much as I wanted to.
I was talking to my therapist about that yesterday and she really helped me deal with those emotions. She helped me realise that the “goals” I had hoped to achieve by now were created by myself when I was much younger and didn’t know how the world worked. The only person who should be creating goals for me is the current version of myself. And she has a point, that’s absolutely true.
She also told me not to focus too much on the future and try to focus on the present and make smaller, more achievable short-term goals. She described it as this- when you want to get from destination A to destination B, you don’t just magically appear at destination B. You need to focus on destination A and slowly make your way to destination B.
Anyway, I didn’t have too much to write about today so I thought I would just share what I was thinking. Y’all seem to enjoy that and I love to whine. So yes, getting old sucks but everybody’s doing it. There’s no escape and you’d rather embrace it than fight it. Wish I had less grey hair though, lol.
Enjoy this very relatable song by one of my favourite bands:
