“Improbable paths to improbable destinations.”
As someone that’s recently turned 60, your last paragraph resonates intensely. I am so, so far from the life I predicted for myself at age 25.
I turn 60 in a few months. Sounds like we have been on orthogonal paths! :)
I'm a couple years behind you. My 25 year old self was also entirely wrong about my future and thank god for that.
