But not the kind you think.
Rinse. Wash. Repeat. That's not life.
It's not that simple.
Sure, you can see where you are today and see similarities with the past. Resemblances, but not full reality.
We go through periods of time that define us. We go through periods of time that re-define us as well.
In our 20's, we plant our flag in the ground. We start our careers. We fall in love. Weddings. Births. New beginnings. Flying for the first time. Defining.
In our 30's we become established. Things settle. A little bit of a routine or flow happens. Comfortable predictability. Steady as she goes.
Then...the 40's. Redefinition happens. The proverbial bottle of life gets shaken up. The things that settled at the bottom of the bottle get mixed in with the rest. Divorces. Deaths. You fly upside down.
Not sure about the 50's. I'll let you know when I get there.
It's not a bad thing. It just is.
Don't worry. The colors may fade a little. Some stains may be harder to get out. But in the end...everything comes out clean.
Wear it well.
