minus-squareHorseChandelier@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up35·11 months agoDon’t hold on to things you haven’t done before you retire… It is a waste of time and regretting not doing stuff, which lasts for moments, is the folly of youth. Also what/who you want to do changes as you get older… /sauce greybeard who is 10 years off retirement.
