    It's really amazing what perspective can do
Damn straight. I remember thinking I was busy back when I was a single guy because I had a 40-50 hour a week job. Now I work less than 40 and I'm far busier than that version of me could EVER imagine. But I feel less busy. It's odd. It's all perspective.

One of my biggest pet peeves, and I am guilty of it myself, is when people answer the question "How are you?" with "busy" or "tired".

As for "becoming a man," I was just telling someone today that the day my childhood ended was when I held my boyhood dogs head in my lap as he was euthanized. That changed me. I couldn't ever go back.

I'm sure I have linked you to that before though. Sorry for the repeat.
