As usual, Michael, this was a very thought-provoking piece for me. I’m a few years younger than you from what I gather (I’m 33) but in the last few years I’ve started to think about similar things. I do not have kids either, but some of my friends have begun to have some and it’s made me think about whether not having kids sort of keeps me stuck in a sort of time loop where I just keep doing the same stuff. And to be honest I don’t really have an answer.

I do know, however, that my insistence to keep skating as if I’m still 19 is certainly a constant reminder about my aging body. But mentally I still feel like I’m 19, and again, I don’t know if that’s a good thing haha.

Anyways, I really appreciated your reflections on this idea. So thank you :)
