I've spent a liftime trying to run away from myself. The penny dropped with me some years ago how futile my ruminations were. I've tried giving myself permission to accept my status quo. It works for me in the short term but old habits die hard with my return to beating myself up every now and again. Has anyone else succeeded in achieving this elusive peace of mind?
I am, on the whole, happy with who I am. It was't always so, in my younger days I was hugely uncomfortable in my own skin. Age seems to have helped a lot.
Yes we all "mellow" with age. For me, my impetuousity seems to have disappeared. I don't know if that is attributable to gaining wisdom or just feeling worn out and taking the path of least resistance.
