Birthdays and Getting Older

I just had a birthday recently and am officially middle aged. Time really has been going by quickly lately, and it feels that this happened in an instant. I would consider myself a late bloomer, and many of my accomplishments such as buying my first and second home happened recently along with getting engaged. While I would have liked to have accomplished these things in my twenties, I certainly was not ready nor had the drive or experience to attain these things. Now, I have been telling those in their twenties to buy property and just achieve more in their lives.

This includes my writing as well. I have noticed improvements in my writing, and I am simply more disciplined about writing than when I was in my twenties. I was not particularly studious and procrastinated a lot when I was a student. I believe that I would make a much better student now with being more disciplined and understanding the need to complete assignments first before partaking in entertainment like watching television or anime. I used to play video games a lot in the past, especially RPGs, but now, I hardly play video games anymore.

Instead of just partaking in entertainment, I am now in the process of creating entertainment through my writing and creating stories. It is a good time now, as I feel that I have more life experience and see the world differently.
