15 Things we realise when we get older


  • We start to know ourselves better;
  • We are more tolerant with the people we love and less patient with toxic ones;
  • We select more carefully the people we want around us and don't waste time with no deserving ones;
  • We realise things faster;
  • We lose our innocence and reality sinks;
  • We start to realise that we are not immortal and our time is precious;
  • We start to realise what really matters;
  • We start to realise that quality is more important than quantity;
  • We start to do more what makes us happy, instead of what makes others happy;
  • We look back to our past and deal with the emotions of our memories more smoothly, without resentments;
  • We start to listen and respect more our body;
  • We start to realise that what we didn't accomplish is just of our responsibility;
  • We realise that we are not the centre of the universe and start to be more humble, empathetic and compassionate;
  • We realise that wisdom is inside us, not in what others say
