I am terrified.

My thoughts about life are keeping me awake. My 41st birthday was July 21st, and I’m freaking out. Where has all the time gone? What am I doing with my life? Do I still have time to change it without rushing? Will I wake up tomorrow 80 years old with nothing accomplished? I’m totally flipping out in a very bad way, and trying to keep myself together without having a complete meltdown.

It's scary how fast time flies

@deadgerbil if you truly are in your twenties, I must warn you, it does get worse. I feel emotionally sick just thinking about it. I don’t want to scare you, but it is the sad truth. I hope you are doing well in your life with your accomplishments and in happiness. This is me being completely genuine.

@PoisonLace I've already felt it. Like the time between me being 18 to 24 now went by so fast and I am not looking forward to the march to 30. I hate aging so much.

@deadgerbil for me it’s the clock. I try not to think about it. But it feels like my 40th birthday was last week.
