Me: Age Appropriate

I'm constantly now being reminded of my age.

I have this uncanny knack for taking on big projects because I believe I have the zeal I did when I was 23. I drastically underestimate people and hurdles to jump over because I feel that since Im a bit wiser, I should be as nimble as I once was.

But I'm learning time and again that this is simply not the case.

For instance, I put my house on the market thinking that it would simply sell itself. It didn't.

I bought workout DVDs thinking it'd be hella easy to start and maintain. It wasn't.

I fell in love with the perfect guy who is now living an ocean away.

I work my ass off, doing things my way because it's more efficient. Sometimes, it just bites me in the ass.

I stood up for my rights and for what I thought was right. The brass at work shun me.

So overall, things are pretty unhelpful. I was gonna say "shitty" but that would connote that I feel bad about my life. Overall, I still have a great life and for that, I shouldn't complain. Instead, I bide my time until the next phase of my life: post-residency. It's gonna be a wild ride!
