Time & Ageing

Everyone feels behind. Ask anyone.

Behind on the career, the relationship, the savings, the self-development. As if life were a train you could miss.

Ageing is the one manifestation you are definitely doing, every day, whether you set the intention or not. The work is making peace with time: noticing what each season of life actually offers, and grieving the ones that close without pretending they don't.

A life lived in the season you're actually in.

Performing youth, or rehearsing decline — both are ways of refusing the present.

• Write what this decade of your life is genuinely for.

• Name one thing you can do now that you couldn't ten years ago.

• Let one outdated ambition go at the Last Quarter, deliberately.

• What am I racing against?

• What would I stop postponing if I trusted time?

• What has ageing already given me?
