The other day for the first time I was passed pretty easily by a young woman. This was a first for me.I've never considered myself a overly competitive person but it bothered me. Maybe it is turning 50 and not wanting to admit I probably will be in decline from this point on.
Can anyone relate?
Ah, the ol' "This was the first time for me", schtick. There will be more of those, you'll lose count and the first time will be nothing but a memory. Stop being too serious and enjoy life more. Time will mess you up harder and more relentlessly than anything else in your life.
