Sorry to start the morning off with a downer topic, but seriously, what's one sad or unfortunate thing that you've learned about life as you have gotten older, especially after finishing college/ starting "real" life, etc...For me, I've realized, and am still kinda coming to terms with (despite the fact that I'm 31), that the only way I can function and effectively complete all the tasks that I need to complete on a daily basis, and still stay sane, is by numbing out a little. It kinda sucks because back in college and maybe a little after when life was simpler and there was just less to do on a daily basis and life was a little more straightforward or "one dimensional" I was able to really throw a lot of passion/ energy behind everything, be it positive or negative. I feel like back then there was a little fireball behind every statement, action, response, etc., but as life got more complicated and I've gotten more mature, I find that I don't have the physical and mental resources to do that anymore. There's just so much shit that goes down on a regular basis when you're out there making a life for yourself in the real world, that it's impossible (at least for me) to have that same fire behind everything that you do or everything that happens to you. If I tried, I think I would burn out. I find that I need to just numb out a little and not get too emotional about everyday situations. In some ways I love my new maturity, but in other ways I miss that spark. Unfortunately, I think that approach may also start to carry over to other aspects of life as well... Anyway, enough about me, what about you guys? What’s the harshest truth you’ve learned? Very few people truly give a shit about you. Identify them. Embrace them. It’s not that other people are bad…they just have other priorities.
