      Yeah other than my country falling apart my life is better at 39 than pretty much ever before. I’m genuinely happy. Again, other than the country stuff.

      I damn sure wasn’t happy and confident like this at 18 or whatever. I’m hitting my stride.

        Exactly. In youth, everything is important, and everything is a big fucking deal.

        Over time, especially if you’re introspective (not everyone has this ability, it seems), you’ll come to temper those expectations.
