In my early 20's I thought I had been through a lot in life than anyone else relatively but I was so wrong.

In my early 20's I perceived that from a very young age I had seen a lot more than anyone can possibly imagine but how naive I was because it hadn't even started.

Faced far more in my 30's but instead of problems I viewed them as challenges. And with every new challenge, the challenge before seemed far smaller.

And this shall go on :)

But all thanks to the tremendous efforts i had put in my 20's by studying and working harder that made my 30's manageable.

This is the part where God says, "And finally wisdom prevailed. Amen."

I can relate to this..at the age of 20 something i told myself i have lived it all there is and that it would be okay if i just died.. it seemed unbearable the weight that things will only continue to repeat themselves in circles. But there's so much more really, infinite more... The way i see it now...i would like to live up to 333 :D

@elafina haha oh absolutely. I can feel you. In two years from now i will be in my 40's but regardless of far tougher times in this decade , I am happy to have learnt a lot more about life.

@SW-User i think 40's-50's are the best. Such an experience one has and the strength to do something with it..

SW-User

@elafina And i foresee we may be in a better position to tackle the challenges. But i would let time do the talking. You never know what life throws back at you. Who knows what we face in our 40's and 50's will be so distinct from what we must have been through until now

@SW-User exactly...when we seem to have learned the lesson, life usually brings a fruitful valley for us to enjoy..and after a while it throws some new thunders so we'll stay well trained and motivated 😂🤣🤣

SW-User

@elafina lol i don't have my hopes high about the valley whether it's fruitful or treacherous lol All i know is in my 30's i don't say , "Oh i have been through so much" 😂

@SW-User yes exactly!!! but, sometimes, i do this exercise a psychologist friend has suggested. So you stand where you are and you (physically) look behind you. Remember where you are coming from and all that you've been through. Then look at where you are standing at now. Now look ahead towards where you are about to go...<3
