With Age

I was once a young kindred spirit, who solely lived his life in the first person perspective.

If I were to describe that person, adjectives as pretentious, pompous, arrogant, and vain would just scratch the surface.

As life has always taught humanity,
humility and humbleness come with age and experience.

I too, fell under the enchanted marvels that life has to offer. Learning from my narcissistic years that, life does not revolve around me.

As I have grown wiser with age, I see the horrors of the past, and wonder about the negative impressions I might have left on others.

I do not regret being who I am today, but in true honesty, I understand my wrongdoings and I can only hope that it serves as a lesson for others.

With age comes wisdom and humility, humbleness and selfconsciousness. That is why I write, to leave a message of righting what was wrong.
