Is Life really passing me by?

When you heal the child, you heal the community;
when you heal the community, you heal the child O. Mercredi 

I've come to the realization that life is passing me by. I guess it always has, it's just that I have kept myself too busy to notice. Now that I haven't been "busy" for some time, it really has caught up with me.

I'm just scared that I am not going to figure it out and lose time doing just that. 

Many people already settled into marriage and kids and jobs at this stage of life and I feel like I am just starting. I feel so far away from my "dreams" and that they may never get accomplished and it will be time to "retire"
