A message to myself when I’m in my 60’s

Sonders of a Bean
2 min readOct 3, 2022

Even as I get older, it’s not that I will not miss the ability to live by my body, the free ability to run, to swim, or the ability to sustain sleep. It’s that I’ll more than not, remember a very good reminder: though my body is aging, my soul has never been affected by age. It has anything else than not, grew and became more beautiful because of this. Has my body weakened, it has given the life to my soul

My soul grasped better understanding of the world, of the sincerity of every action done by conscience, of not wanting to do things to impress the people, to not deny myself into oblivion. My soul is more and more now ready to accept new journeys, out of the material world that this itself, perishes. That this world, perishes. My soul will never. There’s this next realm I’m going to, without this fragile body, but with all the love and purity I shall have in my soul. I have finally realized, though how weak my body is, it has never affected my soul’s age. My soul has become younger and lighter through all this age my body has passed in.

They stopped letting me perform all the tough activities as I grew, they stopped letting me perform all the bodily activities I could in my youth.

But they never questioned my soul. They never told my soul to stop dreaming of more depth. And that’s why I’m still free as I take all that I grew in my soul to the next realm. My body will repair itself. My soul no human can plant.

A message to myself when I’m in my 60’s.
