My person is always perfectionist. I always strive for perfection and excellent performance all the time. I use my brain all the time. I usually don't really on anyone when it comes to anything. So, I usually hate it when someone doesn't use their brains. It really gets my hackles up. However, as we age, we learn to overcome and outgrow this. It is true to me. I learn that it is actually much better to be able to be patient, hold temper and be broadminded about things all the time as much as possible. There might be at times that requires your devil's advocate and your evil side. Nevertheless, things will still get better without having to that. Instead being friendly most of the mind is a thing and is really beneficial not only for social health but also for your physical and mental health.

Totally feel this. As we grow older and life slows us down a bit, we start to realize that not everything needs to be perfect—or controlled. We still care deeply, but we learn to choose patience over pressure, understanding over frustration. It’s not giving up high standards, it’s just being kinder—to others and to ourselves. Funny how maturity doesn’t just make us wiser, but softer in the best way possible.

We are always trying but we are imperfect by nature.

As we grow older, we learn to tolerate and accept many things that used to bother us before.

I can totally relate. I used to get frustrated when people didn’t use common sense—it felt like a personal offense. But over time, I mellowed. I've learned to let go of what I can't control, to be kinder to others and myself. The earlier you realize this, the earlier you find peace and that goes a long way—not just for your sanity, but for your overall well-being.

It's hard when people keep pissing me off.. People around me, people around the world... Damn neighbors and their dogs barking. In my 40s, the only thing that's realistic to hope for is 8 hours of sleep.
