I've never been much of a drinking man, but I honestly feel like I need a strong drink after reading that. It made me think about some of the people who arent with me anymore, even the ones who maybe didnt pass away but we just lost touch over the years. Its this intense bitter sweet feeling because they were awesome and now theyre gone. Ive heard that we should be happy that we knew them at all, but the truth is it still sucks to lose someone we loved. Friggen life can be so unpredictable and cruel sometimes.

The hardest part of growing older for me a couple of things:

1) The realisation you will never have time to do everything youd want to. This could be something stupid like realising you will NEVER get through your gaming backlog or something bigger like the realisation you will never be able to fulfil all your dreams.

2) The older you get the more people start dying. I was very lucky that I didnt really have to deal with a major death until my 30s that hit me hard but since then I will say there are at least one person I know who has died a year. Last year it was 3.

3) The older you get the harder to become to make friends. Kinda coupled with 2 in that as more people die your circle of people you know and care about gets smaller and smaller. This is why to me its so important to keep on top of your relationships and try and keep them going where possible and not taking people for granted.

4) That starting again is a fucking scary thought. I felt like I did this at 25 when Id split with my long time partner and it took me a long long time to get over it. In retrospect that was just a stupid on off relationship so now Im married the idea of needing to start over with even bigger steaks scares the shit out of me.

Apologies not sure this is the right topic for this but as TC is sharing thought i would as well.
