There's something about getting older that feels different. It's suddenly realising you don't want a chaotic busy life. You don't want to spend your years working and aiming to climb the career ladder. You want to slow down, to connect more, to be present, to have more time with the people you love and doing things you love. It feels like a sudden realisation that the life you've build might not actually be the life you want. It's realising that aiming for things is wonderful but also what you have might just be enough. It's being scared of missing out on the joy you have in front of you by wishing for what's next. It's knowing time is passing and being more aware than ever of what actually matters most.
