The distance between the life you're living and the life you were built for shows up at every age. It just learns a new excuse each decade.
22Just started
"I did everything they told me to do. Why does none of it feel like mine?"
34Deep in it
"I'm good at a job I never chose. Walking away costs too much now."
47Mid-flight

58Rebuilding

66Not done
