It's so interesting to see as life goes on the things that make more sense. All the things your mother always told you, that you would "understand when you grow up" or "you'll understand when you have kids" and so on, become real and understood...just like she said they would. The conversations you hear and the priorities of the people talking seem unimportant as you get older. You finally understand why not getting the latest toy or going to a certain event truly wasn't as important to your well being as you once thought it was.
It's almost strange to finally be able to step back and say wow I can't believe that would even matter, but when you were that person in that moment...it did matter. I hope I can be able to even more often take a step back when I am in that situation and say "you know that really won't matter tomorrow or in a few weeks, a few months...even a few years." I think I'm only beginning to understand...
