What moments offer you a shift in perspective?

I'll go first as an example.

I often feel as a boy trapped in a man's body, not ready for the world and still full of uncertainty. Like I'm faking my way through life.

But then I see real man children, sometimes twice my age. And then just by comparison I feel like a wizened elder for a while with knowledge and maturity beyond my age.

What do you encounter that shifts your perspective, if only temporarily?

Sometimes i feel quite similar, feel like i should have found my way by now. But after moving back to the area i used to live i see people a lot older than me whom i knew, and they're in the same place they were but with heroin and coke habits.

I see many people in their 40s-50s still just drinking every day and talking badly about others, and it makes me realise that while i may feel lost i'm happy not being happy with doing the same thing.
So maybe feeling lost is a good place to be.
