That is what I "always" thought, motorcycling will get me and I wouldn't want to live without being able to ride ... but then it happens, you don't and you get to live with what you never though you would be. ...
Some friend came along today and had Frank Sinatra "my way" playing for a ring, immediately I searched the tube and found Sid Vicious' "my way" and played it back ... he never got old. I guess they can take our lives away but we get to keep the mind young if we want... and look back to see if we are happy with choices, even the worst mistakes.
The weirdest feeling is that the older you get the more you feel time is accelerating ... you get older faster and faster after a certain age.
Yeah. It feels like the brain processes memories and their durations in relation to experienced total. When you are 5, one year is 20% of your life and feel like eternity. When you are 50 it's 2% of your life and goes by pretty quick.
