What do you think gets better with age?
There are good things about being old, such as increased confidence, less stress, and deep friendships. You won’t hear this often because people tend to focus on the negatives of aging.
We become wiser. With age comes wisdom because of the trials we’ve gone through and learned through. We also have emotional intelligence because the wealth of experiences we have a better emotional understanding and control. Or friendships get deeper with age. You learn it’s about quality not quantity. A few very good friends is better that a lot of shallow friends.
We have clearer priorities. The more I experience in life, the more I know what I like and don’t like, and what I need and don’t need. When you realize that life is short, and am less likely to waste my time with people or activities that are not worthwhile.
