Comment

The older you get, the more you value your time and energy (mental, emotional, physical, etc.) At least it seems that way for me and people in my age range. I did actually meet a woman recently and actually enjoy every minute spent together so I’m gonna take that fork in the road and see where it leads. Another part of aging, I no longer have high hopes so I just go with the flow. If it works out, great, if not, totally fine, life goes on.

“I have low hopes.”

  There is definitely a balance between self worth and pragmatism in that comment, but being self aware enough to recognize it pushes me toward believing its pragmatism. Maybe that’s just a reflection of my own self though.

  Strangely enough, things tend to work out better without having expectations and letting the chips fall where they may. YMMV.

  These hopes are copes.
