As earnest as you can

It's amazing how perspective changes with age. We understand much better where priorities lie and what we should disregard as unimportant. A very accepting friend I have known for 40 years and I call these our "what the fuck years" where the filter comes off and you live as earnestly as you can.

Where I am can be explained to a younger person but it must be lived through experience. Nevertheless I do try and convey a message to leave much of what the world considers important by the wayside.

Money, possessions and status bring us nothing but touching upon core identity brings a comfort, joy and confidence that we didn't as readily experience when younger and busy chasing what we were told would make us happy.
