My best friend passed away at 24. Other friends of mine had their lives were also cut short by health issues. Tomorrow is not guaranteed for any of us... not when you're in your 20's, not when in your 40's, not at any age. Don't ever be afraid of doing something because of age and don't worry about what anyone else thinks. When we were young we wasted time because we didn't know any better. Now we do!

@kjoed53 So true! I can remember as children how time could pass so slowly when we were excited about something and had to wait. Or when we were occasionally bored during school holidays. Time sure could creep and how we wished it would move faster. Then decades of time moving at the speed of light as I went through university, joined the work force etc. Never enough time in the day. It often felt like being on a hamster wheel and things I loved doing like distance running, travelling etc stopped and became something I’d do again when I had time. An assumption there would be oodles of time.
Then I got stage 4 incurable cancer in my 50’s that will end my life sooner rather than later. Part of dealing with it has been retiring early and slowing down to appreciate time in each day. It has been wonderful! Sad that it took something like cancer to slow me down, slow time down and encourage me to savour the time in a day.
