In our weekly "how are you doing meeting" I mentioned two frustrations. One: that I didn't have a peer group of my age and 2) that without a car it's tough getting out of here which does not suit my explorer mentality.
Sometimes, by voicing frustrations, they get better! This was the case. The very next morning, I met the dad of one of the staff members who was visiting for a few days. he had his own van and loved exploring - so I've had a couple of excursions with my new trip buddy - discovering the quaint New England on my doorstep!
The age issue (the bulk of folks here are in college or very recently out of it - so I'm about 10-15yrs older than most) made me do a lot of thinking about my early 20s and how I was then and all the rich things that have come my way since! The 20s and 30s are definitely different - but in a good way for me!! More settled, more mellow, more inwardly peaceful, more sure of what I am and what I'm not, more experiences under my belt.
I don't feel "old" in comparison to the others - just at a different life stage. And since voicing this niggle, it's been less of an issue for me!!!
Conclusion: frustrations we carry within us and don't voice will colour our world in a sour way. Express them constructively and that allows the space for new magic to flow in ...
