hang out with friends. Write. Love my children. Compete in a race or two. Do a few things I have always wanted to do. Buy new living room furniture (yes, this was one of my dying wishes!). And tell no one.

Of course, I did a few practical things like increase my life insurance and organize documents. Sometimes, especially as my 33rd birthday approached, I thought a lot more about the “how.” A shaky train ride back from Philly on Friday had me shaken to my core. By yesterday, I felt a little more hope that maybe my nine-year-old self was wrong, but there was still a little part of me that thought I might close my eyes and never open them again.

And then this morning an amazing thing happened.

I woke up.

And it wasn’t until then that I realized how long I have been defining my path by something that wasn’t true. In my early 20s, not fearing much, because I knew I had a lot more time. Then at 30, suddenly feeling the pressure to get everything done all at once, because I didn’t have enough time left.
