I would tell my younger self to stop living my life to make other people happy. I honestly looked up to you a lot for that, among many other reasons while growing up. You always seemed to me to be pretty authentically you, no matter what anyone else thought.

I’ve always appreciated your ability to express yourself in such a thoughtful way - even when you weren’t so “wise” - Thank you for the insight.

I’m at a point were I’m learning to apply wisdom.

I took up cycling and mountain biking in my late 30’s. I had the wisdom to know I shouldn’t be riding certain trails or lines outside of my skill set. Two trips to the ER and fairly extreme shoulder reconstructions (one of those a couple years ago) prove, as I go into my 50’s, that the application of wisdom is the never ending battle whether it’s biking, relationships, or any other application.
