Life does not feel like a tree with branches and paths to be taken. It's only one destiny followed, unmoving, unyielding and unchanging.

Staring back at the adventures lived, there are no regrets for not living. A life well lived, and unbroadcast. No adventure logs on a stream of social media. The friends who cared kept in touch personally.

The adventurer grows tired, their life lived like a 40 hour video game, and yet it's just a little over half over. There is no need for a midlife crisis when so much of life has been lived. Now it just feels like a book with pages that do not end.
