That is a really nice thing to say.

I'm wiser, but far less knowledgeable.

Less clued up about pop culture and politics.

Have less self-discipline in a few areas.

Less mentally stable. Mentally I'm at breaking point. I can't take things in stride as well.

Slightly better in social situations, but only because I'm often on autopilot and couldn't give a shit most of the time what people think of me.

Less selfish generally, but more insensitive on occasions.

You're awesome where it truly counts.

I'm a fat betch. That's all.

I'm wiser
I learned a lot
I stopped bleaching my hair

I'm a lot more laid back and less nervous than I was 10 years ago. My kids are grown and gone and I have 2 grandkids now, a higher position at my job and a computer where I can get my Prince anytime I damn well please. I'm living just fine. Thanks 4 askin'.

I can see how living in a tropical paradise with a beautiful girl who loves you must be tough.
Me, I don't feel as invincible as I once did. I'm just a clitched 30 year old. Around ten years ago I ran at then rolled underneath a moving truck on the main road just to prove how CRAZZEEE I was. I feel deeply embarassed at that now. Imagine anyone explaining that death to my parents. I must have grown somewhat to feel that. My empathy's expanded to the point I can't kill flies - I can't even rip up weeds without guilt, Christ. I find it hard to sit through Arnold Swarzenegger films now. I'm also check my hairline against a small faint head scar quite often. If I go bald I'm sticking my fucking head in the oven.

Where do I begin?

Ten years ago, I was a starfucker, out every night, smoking and drinking.

Now I'm a stay-at-home, straight-edger who's actually...you know...happy.

Oh trust me, I am. I've never allowed some of the things coming out off my mouth to come out before. i didn't believe in hating people either but now I actually hate someone.

Vendetta1 said:

Oh honey the whole "don't hate people" speech is unrealistic and idealistic to begin with, if somebody deserves to be hated,,,,then, blame it on human nature. We're not perfect, so we shouldn't try to be.

I may haven't brushed shoulders with you YET Ivy, but I don't think you're a mean or a bad person,,,,I'm not saying that just to try to make you feel better lol I just don't get that "mean person" vibe from you(even if its coming from a computer screen ), and I know some "mean" bastards in here.

However, "self-criticism" is a bitch so I know where you coming from.

I have matured a lot and become more secure, but my life only really picked up 2 years ago when I met my present partner and bought my home. I have also got fatter as you would expect.
