I had a very minor health thing yesterday which turned out to be nothing but it got me thinking... there are so many things I want to do with my life but as I get older it seems increasingly unlikely they'll ever actually happen. If I suddenly became ill I'd regret so much not having done more with my life but how practically can most of us do the things we really want?
I'd like to travel, live somewhere different, develop my own business - all the cliches I suppose - but in reality I'm tied to a job and responsibilities like most people.
We get one go at life and I feel like time's running out but how can I change anything? With a full time job and family responsibilities, just organising a few days away or a bit of decorating is a challenge!
I feel like I've wasted too much of my life already. I I haven't really as I have things to show for my 40-odd years here - own home, nice family, reasonably successful career - but I feel I should have done more, made better decisions, realised that this is my only life and prioritised what was important.
I don't think there's an answer to this really but do other people feel like this? I don't want yo look back at my life and think 'was that it?' But realistically I don't think it's in my power for it to be any different.
