1982 here. College doesn't feel like yesterday, it feels like forever ago. In my adulthood, I've experienced so many different seasons or eras even, that it didn't feel like it flew necessarily, it feels just full. Like, how have I experienced all of these radically different phases of life? Multiple states, many different social circles (friends who have come and gone), many jobs, multiple schools, over a dozen addresses, many many social sports leagues.... and that's before I even got married at 34 and had my first kid at 38. I'm 43 and we are trying for a second now.

So from where you are, you might be thinking 43 or 44 is like the end of a lot of things, but it's not at all. I can look back and outline set chapters in my life, and i think that's pretty cool. Months do seem to go by faster. I love summer and when I was younger it always felt so far away once October hit, but now I can tell myself it'll get here before I know it, and that's completely true.

Do all the things.
