Me at 20: I want to make a difference in the world

Me at 40: maybe if I stand really still and never speak again, I won’t fuck anything else up

@JoParkerBear Yeah but the second one was also me at 21

"Life isn't fair" is an accurate observation, but we aren't here merely to observe - we have agency. We have a choice whether to make the world better or not, more fair or not.

I choose more fairness.

Me at 60: I don't care if they like me, but they WILL treat me with fucking respect

@JoParkerBear my big revelation (possibly also my big despair) was realizing that I can make a difference to people in the world without being able to make a difference in the world. At 50 I decided that that was enough - but yeah, I also still fuck things up just as a side hobby, I guess
@JoParkerBear "maybe if I hide underneath this warm blanket, things will solve themselves"
@JoParkerBear me at 65 - I am no longer relevant - life is great
@JoParkerBear still fighting this urge at 40, TBH
@JoParkerBear this is me . . . Only it took me into my 50s to reach that conclusion 😀😃😄😁😆😅🤣😂
@JoParkerBear Me at 50, same but laying down
@JoParkerBear me at 50, if I fuck anything up that's a you problem

Me at 50: Covid wasn’t thorough enough.

@JoParkerBear

When you're in your 60's you'll once again admit you want to make a difference in the world again fellow citizen Widdershins Smith.

As you still do.

@JoParkerBear Me at 70: I've lived my life the way I want to. Regrets, there have been some but now I'm aiming for last man standing status. Life what a goddamn trip!
@JoParkerBear All through my sixties so far … yup.
