As I get older As I get older, my priorities have changed; what I value for my life has altered as l age. As I get older, my thoughts have begun to shift. I understand that not everyone is meant to stay, and it is normal for some relationships to drift. I value my peace above anything else; I have learned to say no if I feel it may be detrimental to my mental health. There is no place for chaos or anything that drains my soul; my true inner happiness is my ultimate goal. My body is changing, and my face shows little signs, like little maps of all that I have been through, and those precious laughter lines. I care little for material objects; I thoroughly question their use, and if something doesn't align with me, well, I've learned to cut it loose. As I am getting older, I have realised how much I value being free, being around the people that I love, living a simple life is what matters most to me.
