Age obviously doesn't bring wisdom, awareness does.
Well, there is an old and popular saying on my neck of the woods which 'literally' goes around the lines of:
"Better knows the devil by 'old' than by devil"
So, imho.. always keep trusting in your most inner instincts no matter what and never take your eyes off the reflection in the mirror. :)

Looking in isn't the problem. Seeing what peers back is what is scary.
That's exactly why the only 'external peer' that matters, is that one behind the mirror. Regardless the depth behind that mirror in which that peer is laying. :)
Nice cool
