I have a theory that every 7 years, the life of an individual goes through profound, transformative changes that effect the course the next 7 years. These changes take about a year or so to happen, but they start on the 7 year.
I’m 35 now. I’m at the 5th cycle of 7 years. So let’s go back (pardon the extreme vagueness):
- Age 7: honestly don’t remember much here.
- Age 14: the worst year of my life. Horrible pain and suffering, but I got over it.
- Age 21: significant changes to my development as a man. Got hitched and became an instant father.
- Age 28: out of college and in the workforce, which I discover really sucks and is not for me. Moved to AK, etc.
- Age 35: independence from all of which I depend on.
