When I am with my friends, my age group of buddies or colleagues... it does not hit me with an impact. Life seems to have transitioned slowly, college, marriage, kids... the normal placent course for everyone around. Mid life crisis seems miles away. Growing old is a reality now but nothing to get worked up about.
But every time I meet an elderly or a senior colleague, I cannot but feel I have hit a panic button... that makes me wonder just a couple of years and i will be there. The mad rush of ensuring all smooth ends before you hit the 40s.
I met up with a colleague for lunch today. Married, 2 kids, a manager, running a side business of his own, mentoring freshmen, and he was in a rush to wind up a lot to settle into a comfortable 40. Made me panic. A realisation .... Life comes at you fast.
