3 years eating.
1.5 years (NOT considering college) being in school.
1 year commuting to work.
1 year showering.
1 year peeing & pooing.
So far, we've shaved our lives down to 34.5 years. I could keep going, with things like being sick or injured, grocery shopping, doing chores & errands, & other stuff we routinely do that we don't particularly like to do. It's the story of the shrinking life.
Don't let people tell you it's a long life. You only get a certain number of years to do the things you want to do, so make them count. Carpe diem doesn't mean you have to sky dive or wrestle a bear every day. It just means that you need to push yourself. Be a little more outgoing and get out of the routine. There's no time for complaining, fighting or worrying. There are so many possibilities of things to do in this lifetime. Your purpose is to think about these possibilities and do something about them.
I hope the 2 minutes it took reading this post changes the other 16,398,720 minutes* of your life.
*minus what you've lived already
