What do you think gets better with age?
Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…
There are a few things that get better with age,
that I can think of,
at this very instant…
Taste…
Your preferences become more filtered,
instead of the crude and in their raw versions they were before;
You acquire taste in various fields like,
Music, fashion, food and art,
and these choices become yours,
because they are acquired through trial and err,
and they now show a great part of you…
Wisdom and a vision for perspectives…
As you grow and work,
you gain skill,
an insight into seeing the bigger picture,
even the missing one which you have to create to achieve that level,
But,
that does mean giving up on things that are unimportant at that time,
which can cause you to feel left alone or isolated,
because things like these aren’t visible in the early years of life,
and if it were,
you’d most probably spending much time alone contemplating them,
by planning ahead from an early age…
Controlled grip on emotion…
As you age and get reality checks,
setbacks that make you realize your position,
In life and in society,
capping your goals and framing your life within a few things that were within your reach,
you start to understand and have your views on things,
and when you come to know the actual reality of those around you,
the different way they are bound to you,
some just like you…
then you gain control over your emotions and built a stamina for it,
which makes it harder for you to take an unnecessary fall,
which can be made on early deductions…
Foods and beverages…
There are certain things,
certain foods and drinks that become your acquired taste,
like fine wine and pairing it with specific cheeses;
Taste of truffles is one of them,
it feels weird at first and after consuming it often,
it becomes a taste that suits your palate…
Just like wine,
the taste of good whiskey is acquired through many trials and errors,
you try expensive whiskey and drink it using some ice and little water,
and it doesn’t hit you back like the cheap ones usually do,
their buzz is consistent and not something that becomes a high or low within a matter of few minutes,
But,
that doesn’t mean it’s good for you;
Anything and everything in moderation is better…
Awareness of self and boost in confidence…
With age,
one becomes adamant on their rules and regulations that work for them,
all of the outside judgment is ignored,
and one becomes more comfortable in their own skin;
Which in turn builds confidence,
by not having a constant pressure of surroundings,
and growing at a pace that seems comfortable for self,
which sparks this feeling that’s-
“MORE ABOUT KNOWING LESS ABOUT PROVING”
with that being said,
these are the things that I think,
get better with age,
What about you,
do mention them in the comments below…!
Cheers 🥂
