"...I learned that everything just turned out fine..."
It always does, until it doesn't. Since anything could suddenly turn out not fine, there's no real reason to let worry about risks impede your action to enjoy life.
When I was returned from Europe and back in High School, I had no math beyond basic math, but wanted to skip Algebra and take Chemistry, which I did. Chemistry generally requires a couple years of Algebra courses first, and I was struggling.
I asked my friend (the smartest person I know to this day) to help me a bit with the Chemistry Algebra, and his response burned the name Khalil Gibran into my brain forever:
"One man's vision lends not it's wings to another."
I hated Khalil Gibran LOL
After I read 'The Prophet' I did change my mind some.
Perhaps, your birthday forgetting, month misrecalling, events are indicating some stress?
Oh, I totally know what you mean. I actually forgot to include in the article, Not to get attached to this idea that everything will turn out right, but anyway, for me still, everything was just right, as it shaped the way things had come. I didn't really regret my choices in life.
Everything might not turn out as expected or what you say right, that it didn't even matter anymore. That worry should not stop us from enjoying life.
I have yet to read his book. I have pending books to read for having a lot of free time now lol. Books can't feed me, but I hope steemit will haha.
I can't help but include in the article - ' signs of aging?' lol.
Thanks as always, your comment itself is a good post.
