How has time changed you?

Turning the damage that life bestows on us into beauty that holds our broken pieces together.

I guess that makes it more relevant to this forum.

But, feel free to detail how it changed earlier or later than that.

I was slow to mature to be honest and I've still not figured it all out yet and even though I do take on full responsibility of being a fully fledged adult I feel like I'm successfully faking it.

I was always a substance abuser of sorts throughout my childhood and well into my 30s so that will have had a massive impact on maturity as well as anything else.

I have changed a lot during the last 10 years since my mid 30s onwards. I've become more reclusive than I would like to be, I work so fkin hard and I love earning money as well whereas when I was younger I would only commit crime to get by but now I'm more legal.

I pay my way these days but in the old days I would never pay bills in fact I didn't know how to. That might sound stupid but it's true.

I would also like to think that with age I've become a good mother and I'm putting my daughter through uni so she can hopefully have a better time of it than me.

So even though my head is pretty much f*cked there's something dragging me along that in the last ten years has in fact changed my life for the better.
