Agreed, life is a lot more enjoyable when you don't worry too much about how you're living it wrong and wasting it. I especially find the "you only get X weekends with Y" formulation depressing. It makes it sound worse than it is, and enforces a valuation that may not at all be true for you.

  Time is such a lousy metric for things like that. I get so much more out of an hour with my mother than I would have when I was 6. That 5% of time may be a significant portion of the experience (for lack of a better word).
