 @53de482a When I feel like I’m getting old, I like to think about how long I’ve been an independent adult living life on my own terms, away from parents and out of school.

Dyoure 34 but depending on when you moved out and whether you went to college, your adult life began only 10-15 years ago. Hopefully you live at least into your 80s.

In reality you’re only 20%-ish through your adult life. Most of it lies ahead of you and there’s plenty of time to guide it in whatever direction you want.
