Things I’m Working On

I saw a meme the other day that felt a little too accurate.

It said:

Having more patience (Not going well)

Not assuming everyone is an idiot (Also going badly)

Being more approachable (Going even worse)

Now before anyone lights a candle for my character development, relax.

I am working on myself.

But here’s the reality nobody likes to say out loud:

The older you get… the less tolerance you have for nonsense.

Not because you’re bitter.

Because you’ve seen enough of life to recognize patterns.

You’ve watched common sense slowly leave the building like it forgot its keys.

You’ve seen good people struggle.

You’ve seen fools fail upward.

So patience?

Yeah… still working on that.

Approachable?

Depends if the conversation starts with something intelligent.

But one thing I have gotten better at over the years is this:

Learning when to speak…

and when to just sit on the porch, sip the whiskey, and let the circus continue without me.

Because not every battle deserves your time.

Some people want wisdom.

Some people want attention.

The trick is learning the difference.

And I’m still working on that too.
