Growing up and older isn’t just about adding years to your life; it’s about collecting wisdom that you wish you had much earlier.

Here are ten life lessons that, in my later years, have become clear. I hope they resonate with you, whether you’re at the start of your journey or already deep into it.

Some of the Things I Judged Others For, l Ended Up Doing Myself
