Admitting to yourself that you’re halfway to dead is scary for a lot of my millennial peers, but it’s important to admit.
Because then you realize there’s only so much time left and you become more prudent about how you spend it.

And "halfway dead" is optimistic. None of us knows when our number will come up but God himself.
Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun
And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
I'm gonna live until I'm 120, or at least 110 if I get to go with my husband when he turns 120, so being in my 30s I'm not halfway for many more years! 😇😎
Memento mori.
Life becomes more precious as you recognize the severity of this timeline. It is easier to eliminate things though; people, places, things that sap your energy, joy, motivation, become easier to cull from your activities and thoughts.
