HOW HAVE YOU CHANGED AS A PERSON OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS ? WHAT WERE YOU LIKE BEFORE ? ( Archived) (19)

hi gilly boy

I'm more self sufficient, own my own property free and clear and have a better idea of what I want to do with the rest of my life.

Thats brilliant!

Hiya Gilly .... not fundamentally no... I still feel internally very much the same as I did 10 years ago.. there is no getting away from it though I am older and as such the backdrop has changed quite a bit... I have more responsibility I guess, and my priorities have changed somewhat.... 10 years ago I thought career was this hugely important thing... now that I am a little older I realise that it is not really that important after all... the important things in life are family, relationships, being content, having enough and understanding the value of the simple things in life JMO


Sometime I think if I had my time over again I would not have spent so much time and effort on my career, I would have travelled more etc.. but then my experiences make up who I am.. so Im cool with that

I've learned to listen more closely and know the difference between being alone and lonely.

10 years ago, I dated to ward off being alone. I had a man try to tell me how lonely I felt, tonight. I told him being alone was nothing, compared to feeling lonely in a relationship. I might have gone out with him, 10 years ago. Not now. I just grinned and came home, alone.

I'll take being alone, and even lonely, over mistreated, used, abused and disrespected any day.

I was strong at 25, worn out and weak, at 35. I expect to be phenomenal at 45.

I dunno anyone here..just wanted to say:i have become less impulsive,more calculating nnnn more happy than i was 10yrs ago.
