Acting Your Age

I was watching one of those
Housewives of XXX City shows,
and shuddering.
I understand the fascination
but I find the setup more sad
than interesting.

Why?

Because many of the women
act like they’re stuck in their 20’s.
They don’t act wiser,
or more accomplished.

We all get older.
I’m not 20 any more,
and I’m glad not to be 20.
I couldn’t write like this
when I was 20.
I didn’t know half the things
I now know about business building.
Yes, there are things I miss about
being 20
but the things I’ve gained
more than make up for it.

Aging is only truly sad
when you don’t progress.
However,
while aging is natural,
gaining additional knowledge
has to be worked at.
