The Brutal Truth About Getting OLDER
Luke Thomas on getting older and losing friends to natural causes...
Time is limited. Relationships matter. Joy is not automatic. Reaching out to people you care about cannot wait. Leaning into meaningful work and meaningful bonds cannot wait. The older you get, the clearer it becomes that nothing is guaranteed.
Life can change in an instant. Health can vanish. Stability can vanish. The only thing within reach is how you choose to spend the time you still have.
