In my thirties, life feels completely different from my twenties. Back then, I had boundless energy and an insatiable curiosity about the world. I was always eager to explore new places, try different foods, and meet new people.
But as time went on, I got married and had children. Suddenly, the world lost some of its allure. All I wanted was to stay in a quiet environment, which was hardly possible with my active and noisy kids.
This is just a natural progression in life. I’m constantly growing and evolving. My surroundings, physical condition, and preferences have all changed. All things are different now.
I realized that I often dwell on my past. I keep looking at my old photos, reminiscing about my past experiences, and daydreaming about “what if” scenarios, which are a waste of time.
Life can’t be rewound. I need to focus on looking forward and continuously improving myself as a person.

I know the feeling. I also catch myself overthinking the past. I’m 27 and I feel the transition from ‘curious mind’ to the one craving peace and rest (as I’m also having children. 3!). Keep writing! I might also come back to it.
