The closest I've come to saying anything is that I never ever thought I'd live to the age I am (late 30s) or even make it past childhood. So, I'd never thought of what I want to do with my life for more than a year or so out. For the first time recently, it's hit me that I might actually live for a while and so, it's a strange, weird and unsettling feeling to think about that prospect -- still don't know how to deal with it though and the feeling is still not constant.
I'm so glad it's not just me. It does feel really scary - and I felt stupid for feeling that way. Same here - normally my T never brings up topics, he lets me lead - but this is something he's brought up more than once.
