I've had the discussion among family and friends about aging, and I am completely open to getting older. I have no desire to go backward. I'm 36 now and I look forward to the days where I'm hanging out with my white beard like some old wise wizard soaking up the present moment.

Honestly, going backward to a younger me would feel like a downgrade. I've managed to get out of depression, gain tons of insight on myself and life. I'm doing better than I've ever done in a spiritual sense, and I only see things getting better for me in that sense as time goes on. I'm cool with getting older.
