Its my birthday today, turned 20. I feel good about my age but life is getting shorter and shorter. I never really conceptualized death until recently. I can kind of see the end of the road. I'm sure most of you have thought about this already. Anyways still glad I'm getting into adulthood finally
Says the kid five years younger than me, and I don't feel this in the least.but life is getting shorter and shorter
First of all HAPPY BIRTHDAY, but you'll forgive me if I take issue with "life is getting shorter and shorter" and "I can see the end of the road." -You're still extremely young. This is a good thing, enjoy it! Death is there waiting for all of us, this is good to know but bad to fret over. No use worrying about that which we cannot change. Carpe Diem! Enjoy the day today, I hope it's a good year for you.
Life has always been a mystery for me growing up. At my age now, I kind of know what to expect will happen down the road.
Yeah, happy birthday hermitherder. I'm 40. If this will put things in perspective, Iife is getting shorter, but I'm actually doing fine with 40. I don't worry about so many small things that time and perspective of some extra years allow me to now recognize as "small potatoes". I think I spend less of my time with trivial concerns. Outside of being dead eventually, and losing a bit of physical stamina, aging is okay. There is an upside.
