A matter of perspective_

A friend shared some wisdom recently when I was half-joking that I was feeling old:

You could feel old OR you could feel ✨ proud of your growth and independence ✨. It's all a matter of perspective.

What a wonderful piece of advice, thank you for saying that in that moment. I do feel that I've grown a lot and I am proud of my independence.

I wish I had a satisfying or insightful conclusion to end this thought with. But I'm not as wise as my friend.
