Adventures in Life After 50


Invent yourself and then reinvent yourself

Don’t just swim in the same slew

Invent yourself and then reinvent yourself

Stay out of the clutches of mediocrity

Stop eating time, stop wasting food, stop wasting plastic

Celebrate and cherish

Invent yourself and then reinvent yourself

Change your tone and shape so often that they can never categorize you

Reinvigorate yourself and accept what is; but only on the terms that you have invented and reinvented

Be self taught and reinvent your life because you must — it is your life and its history and the present belongs to you

— Charles Bukowski
