I, (Arina Nikitina) turned 30 this year and only now have I started to make peace with this thought.
One third of my life is gone: 10 years have been spent sleeping, 7 years going to school, then to college, then to University, 2-3 years eating and about 4-5 full years working. Which leaves me anywhere from 5 to 7 years of actually experiencing life, discovering my potential, pursuing goals, and (hopefully) doing something worthy.
