Hey, what's going on and welcome to the Astro Hustle. I'm Cori Allen. It's a great, great day today because, you know why? You know why it's a great day? Because both of us are conscious and aware and able to hear and reflect upon and appreciate the notion that there is a day today that we're alive right now able to feel our own presence of awareness, feel the fact that we're living, breathing critters,

scurrying around across the scraggly earth and enjoying this moment in time, you know, getting to be a person

in a body doing a thing. It's a good thing, you know, no matter if you're up or down or wherever

you're at in a little tidal pool of feeling in life right now.

It's a good thing.

Hey speaking to life, this, I'm recording this before, but this past past Friday the 22nd of February was my birthday.

It hasn't happened yet but I'm recording this before but it's going to happen.

So by the time you hear this I'll be 37 it's kind of a weird age you know

I was thinking about that earlier today it's like I am now I'm I'm old enough to

where people who were in there, let's say below 30 would look at me and say,

hey, he's an older, he's older guy, is he getting up there.

37, that's pretty old, that's a full on, you're locked into adult mode, you're, you are, have the throttle shifted, straight, dead on, you're flying Mach one, Chuck Yeager, and you're breaking the sound barrier into adult mode.

But people over 40, and especially people I know over 50, or even 60, they look at me and they think I'm just a baby.

I'm at that age where I'm in the weird nebulous middle part of it, where old to some and very young to others.

I don't mind aging, I actually like it quite a lot because I seem to

get it together a little more every year. I get better of being a person and refine all that and that comes with of course experience and just an endless soul-screaching pursuit of overcoming

the overwhelming truth of our existential situation by fully actualizing and reflecting my internal life as much as I can,

and trying to find the maximum amount of peace and equanimity amongst myself and all other sentient things.

But I do like aging, you know.

And I talked to people, you know, a lot of people I know or people they hit me up and reach out whatever and they say that they

You know they feel really stressed or they feel really self-critical or whatever they beat themselves up because they

they're in their late 30s or wherever it might be even late 20s and they say I don't know
