Working with 20

I smile with my eyes and not as much with my mouth because it feels more genuine.

Act natural but within strict well defined lines.

Funny, so I laugh, but not out loud because I breathe a heavy breath through my nose in offense and slight disgust for you to know I know your full of shit.

I can't wait till he day when you are the age I'm now because you'll see you still feel as young as you are now... Although with more back and body pains.

The wisdom that you'll only appreciate them will seem unreal when talking with someone young and dumb and what's worse, thinks they know everything.

Un-solicitation, I know but here we go.

Be kind and mindful and authentic and you'll see how interactions will be seen flawless with someone with a good 15 years on you.

I see you and all the potential and time and experiences you don't even know exist yet.

And I wonder...

What's in store for me and what lessons am I missing from someone with 15, 25, 50 years on me?

So you see my friend, present pondering makes you insightful, reflective and aware.

I will work harder for you to see sooner rather than later.

I thank you, for indirectly teaching me and for letting me keep these thoughts as we get through this lot.
