Reaching fifty..you tend to sit back and think ..was it worth it? Did you achieve what you were supposed to…Now nothing is pushing you to go and get it..you got what you were supposed to get..You were treated the way you allowed yourself to be treated.. nothing more nothing less …your responses were conditioned by your upbringing and What you learnt enroute ..you tend to let go..what matters is you and your soul..hormones have ebbed..no more over the top reactions..no more insecurities..you are sure come what may there will always be a way..life has peacefully settled into a pattern..Nothing is permanent you know …you have collected a great lot of experience..that’s going to stay..You lost precious people on the way … but that’s the way..you are grateful that you were blessed by their presence.. you could look back and be absorbed in the past..or could just relax and savour the present..let your soul be healed..so you could be ready for next cycle of your life..just at peace with yourself..
