I think age does help, as does coming to a clearer understanding of the way the world really works. I still have days where I want to leave it all behind but the feeling doesn't last any considerable length of time. :0
My day is going well so far @wordsword and I sincerely hope yours is also! :)
Mine is good also, tired but a good tired :)
Indeed understanding how the world works is a big help too.
I must say that since I'm on steemit I'm way more positive, haven't figured out yet, why that is, exactly :) Well one thing is the nice people I'm sure ;)
Wish you a good evening.
