Today I am turning 40 years old. Which, while not exactly great, is better than the alternative, so kudos to me for still being alive! 🎉 I am a pretty lucky person. I was born in one of the best, richest countries of the world. I feel safe, I have a good job, I am pretty healthy and I have a lovely family. But, for the past couple of months leading up to this milestone, I have spent a lot of time reflecting on life and failing to fall asleep due to the existential dread of having already used up half of my time, and I’ve been thinking about writing this post for a while now.
