Too Old for This

by Samantha Downing

I wake up with a bit of regret. And I don’t use that term lightly, because regret is one of the most insidious things out there. Arthritis is a close second.

Giving in is a process, not a moment.

Self-confidence is the worst double-edged sword. Too little confidence, and you fail. Too much, and you fail in a different way. Either way, it gets me into trouble every time.

All the mistakes I made get locked away inside my head. Thinking about them doesn’t help; obsessing makes them even worse.
