Man, I’m mid-40s and not particularly thrilled by the concept this could only be mid-journey. I’m down to stick around so long as I can contribute something to my community, not in the capitalist sense but the social sense. At the point my existence is a drain on resources and I’m living just because I can… fuck that.
