Wiser with Age & Experience

Nothing is a better teacher than age & experience. I find that the older I get, it’s easier to let go of things and I don’t get hung up on stuff so much. As I get older, I have more confidence in myself and a better sense of self and major and minor set backs don’t impact me as much.

I guess he was caught up in the moment and he thought it was a good time to go in for a “snog”. Needless to say, it was unpleasant and not to mention unwarranted. This is definitely not how I would imagine it, it’s definitely not at all romantic or sexy, but left me with a bad taste in the mouth (pun intended). Picture is not depiction of actual occurence
