As we get older, we have more freedom and agency to choose who we spend our time with, but we also have more responsibilities that make exercising that free will harder.
I saw this earlier this week and it really hit home. I think its why I have this weird mourning feeling, more time alone, my best "fun" times with co-workers has already peaked, my friends won't be coming back into my life, family time is petered off slightly and will for the rest of my life...only silver lining is trying to cherish the category forced on my now in full, children. It's a difficult transition.

That’s what I’m taking away from it, too. We’re all headed toward the ends of those graphs; what can we do with those we love in the meantime?
