QFT.

Seriously, this cliché, is true.

Live your life the best way you can, that's all you can do. Don't look back and think I should have done this, or that. It's done. In the past. It makes you who you are too, to quote another fellow TFP'er.

Ok, certain physical aspects may change a lot with age, but otherwise, mentally, you're the same person. Becoming hopefully wiser over time. Be who you are. If you didn't do those things, don't force yourself to make up for it now. Unless it's what you want, not what you think you should do, and because society says you should.

I stress about time passing by, but I'm guessing we all do. No-one wants things to be over. Even those people who believe there is life beyond this one.

Stop wasting your time worrying and live your life. Enjoy it as much as you can and do right by yourself and others. That's all you should do.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Fernando Pessoa, 1918
