As You Grow

As you grow, you learn more. If you stayed as ignorant as you were at twenty-two, you'd always be twenty-two. Aging is not just decay, you know. It's growth. It's more than the negative that you are going to die, it's instead the positive that you understand you are going to die and that you live a better life because of it.

I always knew looking back on the tears would make me laugh, 

but I never knew looking back on the laughs would make me cry.
