16/30 Why do you write like you're running out of time?
I was driving past a church today that was advertising its sermon for the weekend, which was "Would you rather be rich or young?"
I mean, both is a nice option, but if that's not possible, I think I would pick young. I'm not looking at my past with rose-colored glasses; being in my twenties was really hard. I was trying to find myself, figure out my path in life, and navigate the new trials of adulthood. It was often painful and difficult. We didn't have as much as we have now, and I'm definitely far less conflicted these days about being who I am. (I've always been good about being myself, but it's been hard sometimes to be okay with who that is.)
Still... I'm so very aware that life is finite. There's never enough time. Travel, writing, things to learn, experiences to share... I will never do all that I want to. I won't even get close. If being able to be young again would give me more years to do it all, I'd be hard pressed not to pick that. Having money helps a lot in being able to do things, absolutely, but if there isn't time to do them... I don't know.
Both would be good. :)
Anyway, this is what I'm pondering today. How would you answer the question?
