Anthony Hopkins once said: I am fully aware of my mortality, but at 87 years old, I still wake up every morning with the desire to misbehave. Age is not a barrier when you find passion in what you do. The real secret lies in keeping your curiosity alive, continuing to learn, and not letting the fear of time stop you from enjoying life. Every day is a new opportunity to create, to laugh, and to show that it is never too late to move forward with enthusiasm and joy.

And that’s the essence of a life well lived. Time is not our enemy; fear is. It’s not about how many years we have left, but how much life we pour into them. Curiosity keeps the soul young, passion keeps the heart beating with purpose, and a little mischief keeps the spirit unbreakable.

No matter your age, never stop seeking, learning, and embracing life with a fearless heart. Because every sunrise is another chance to create, to love, and to remind the world that joy is a choice we make every single day.

If you are asking if I need you,
the answer is forever.

She,
In the dark,
Found light
Brighter than many ever see.

She,
Within herself,
Found loveliness,
Through the soul’s own mastery.

And now the world receives
From her dower:
The message of strength
Of inner power.

- Langston Hughes

The older I get, the more I find that you can only live with those who free you, who love you with an affection that is as light to bear as it is strong to feel.
Today's life is too hard, too bitter, too anemic, for us to undergo new bondages, from whom we love. This is how I am your friend, I love your happiness, your freedom, Your adventure in one word, and I would like to be for you the companion we are sure of, always. ~Albert Camus

When a child first catches adults out -- when it first walks into his grave little head that adults do not always have divine intelligence, that their judgments are not always wise, their thinking true, their sentences just -- his world falls into panic desolation. The gods are fallen and all safety gone. And there is one sure thing about the fall of gods: they do not fall a little; they crash and shatter or sink deeply into green muck. It is a tedious job to build them up again; they never quite shine. And the child's world is never quite whole again. It is an aching kind of growing. ~John Steinbeck
