The older I get, the less I care about what people think of me. Not because I've become cold. Not because I don't feel. But because I finally understand that most people are too busy worrying about themselves. The older I get, the more I choose peace over approval. Joy over performance. Freedom over fitting in. Age is just a number. But wisdom? That's earned. And with every year, I become more myself. More grounded. More honest. More free. I don't want to be younger. I want to be more. Be more me.
