What do you think gets better with age?

I’ve found the older I get the less bullshit I take and the less I want to be involved in someone’s drama. That’s probably not the best thing to do but I’ve got enough problems of my own that I don’t need to be dragged into your drama or don’t give a crap enough to be involved in. Luckily for me, I don’t have friends so I don’t deal with drama unless it’s something with my wife or kids.

I’ve also realized that I don’t have much of a filter either like I used to. I’ll say whatever is on my mind and deal with the consequences later. That explains how I was nominated for worst father of the year (https://fromanintrovertscorner.wordpress.com/2025/07/08/worst-father-of-the-year-nominee/). I’m still paying for my emotions overloading my mouth. My daughter hasn’t said much to me in 2 days. I tried apologizing on the day of the incident but was…well I’ll say it didn’t go over well.

Overall, the older I get the less f***s I give. Have I lived a fulfilling, happy life? Hell no but at this point all I care about is leaving my family in a good situation when I’m gone to wherever I end up.
