Trials and Tribulations

As we grow up, we go through different levels of trials and tribulations. When we were younger, our obstacles were overcoming our fear of the dark, riding over the hill, etc. But now that we're older, when we look back, we smile at those memories and wished we could go back to those days where things weren't as complicated.

The older we get, the more complicated life gets. We discover new things about ourselves as we grow older. And sometimes a few of those things puts even bigger obstacles in our paths. Overcoming them ourselves is one thing, but after you've climbed that obstacle, an even bigger one gets in the way.

The older we get, the lonelier we feel. As we grow older, we experience different feelings. Some feelings you want them to go away forever, but other feelings, you want to experience again. And once you've experienced that feeling, lost it, you yearn for it once more. And as you grow older, you expect more because you've put in more. But that's not how it goes unfortunately.
