Wow, this is going to leave me a state of reflection for a while haha. I am almost 24. It is so hard for me to even begin to picture myself at 80 lol. Even now, I am so aware that life is fleeting. I feel like I will be young forever, but one day, I'll blink and be in my 80s. I hope when I get to that point, I will believe that I lived well with whatever life gave me. Thank you for writing this thought-provoking piece, Carmellita! 🤍
