Not worry about it. Ten years is an entire marriage for some people. Just live.

Many of us don't have ten years left and don't know it. Live. Live now. Whatever that means to you, quit waiting on something to happen. Do it.

Seek out strange new worlds?

I think I would go through my giant list of ideas and projects and figure which 1 or 2 are truly important. 10 years is long enough to do just about anything, but probably only one thing to a serious extent.

I once knew someone who was given a short timeline. Strangely, it didn’t just change their life; it changed mine. Ten years sounds like a gift, but it also redefines what “later” really means.

I stopped thinking of time as something to save up, and started treating it like something that leaks away whether you notice or not.

The haunting part isn’t the final day. it’s the missed days you can’t get back.

As Seneca put it: “It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste much of it.”

So for me, the question isn’t what I’d do with 10 years. It’s whether I’ll avoid wasting today.

Finally get around to buying my rock etcher and find every cave made from solid hard rock high and low to carve the contents of my offline blog into along with a template to help future civilizations interpret English.
