Keep peepee away from lead.

Where have I seen this before…

Preach. Welcome to 40. Where life becomes beautiful because you realised you were letting it be controlled by other’s opinions of you and they have a long way to go to find peace and happiness.

There is nothing more to do now but start enjoying the world, that tree over there, and the characters you meet along the way. Everything is beautiful when you finally start looking through your own eyes, not the lenses of others.

I wish I could transfer this mindset to younger people, but it only comes through time. Accept your insignificance, realise what you can do, and make every step forward being about joy for yourself and for others along the way. It all gets better when that clicks, but it feels like you have to be broken by it all first.
