A year in the life

Another year older.

You know I always pictures growing older to come with a certain amount of wisdom. Maybe a package delivered on your birthday with new knowledge and advice for this next year of your life. Lessons you should have learned in the past years, things you should have taken away from life experiences. A checklist maybe.

I didn't get any of that this year, or in years past.

I still am not sure I understand what it means to get older. I'm not sure I've learned anything new or profound with each passing year, or that I'll ever have anything actually worth sharing with the world.

I'm just here, experiencing this life I have for what it is. And we'll see how it goes.
