Not to sound melodramatic, but do you ever worry...

that one day, you'll wake up, look at yourself in the mirror and realize that you are 70 years old and your whole life has passed you by and you spent all of it living someone else's life and trying to make other people happy?
You will look into your heart and it will be full with your countless hopes and dreams that somehow always got shoved into the back of the closet like an ugly paisley print shirt?
Does that thought scare you? 😕
Everyone struggles with the question of what makes their life meaningful at one point or another. I have seen my share of people on the precipice between this world and the next.

From what I've observed, in the final analysis they all consider their greatest accomplishment the connections they have formed while in this world. All other hopes and dreams, realized or not, pale in comparison.

Terrifies me. It is my only and greatest fear.

do not fear the passage of time... the only thing to fear is when time stops for us.

Life goes by so freaking fast. So yes, I absolutely wonder about that.
