How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life?

The passage of time and significant events only tend to tighten the focus from dreams to reality. When we are teenagers or in our twenties we tru believe that we are indestructible but as the world wears us down realty reminds us that that dream is not reality. Some things that I believed when I was younger was that I would go through life alone, then I got married and I came to believe that alone wasn’t the way life was supposed to go. Now I have been divorced for 10 years and I am positive that my younger reality was and is the reality that I am destined for.
