it's too late to fulfill their dreams. I can't tell you how happy it made me to read your post! I am 58 and kind of going through a little bit of a life crisis - maybe it's Covid/isolation related, maybe not - but either way, it just suddenly occurred to me how old I was after never really worrying about age at all.

And not only did I realize how old I was, but I also realized that I did not have the life I wanted or even close. I mean, it's not bad. I love where I live and I love the freedom I have. I have a decent corporate job that pays well, allows me a lot of freedom and is generally pretty cushy (but is not my passion).

Believe it or not, I still don't know what I want to do with my life. I just know that I want to feel that I am fulfilling my potential, whatever that is. I love to learn, I want to explore my creativity, I want to fall in love, I want to connect with interesting people. I just want more than what I have been getting over the past few years and I have been frustrated. I just feel like I want to move forward!

Your post made me feel like there are still myriad possibilities and that the work I need to do is psychological. After that, all the possibilities will open up.
