After having nearly completed 5 decades in this go, I would say the following:
Here to learn a lesson. Maybe one that I didn't get around to (or was too thick to) learning the last time. Yup, I believe in reincarnation. Not sure yet, how and in which way it works, though. But ONE lesson I definitely did learn! You only until you realise, it hurts! I caught myself making the same mistake umpteen times.... now determined NOT to do it again
And... the older I get, the more relaxed I get. I used to be soooo worried about things (looks, fashion, etc). Nowadays I like myself a lot better. And life is brilliant

My life....
Wish I knew then, what I know now. !!!
Always striving for more.... More happiness. More knowledge, More enjoyment, More giving to others, More of the good things in life.... not the materialist. More time to enjoy this wonderfull world and life.

Just sit back relax and stop striving...
all comes to those who wait..
whats truly important is right in front of your eyes and around you every day....we are sometimes to blind to realise this...its right at your doorstep... sometimes we cant see the forest for the tree's.
But I need to also take my own advice sheeshh
But love to give it... and YES it is wonderful in so many ways

Deep and Meaningful, might frighten off some of you, but for those who like to ponder the meaning off life sometimes,
