I've heard an interesting idea that life is broken into 12 year agreements segments. It's not a bad idea.

[–] indepndnt@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

Hmm, interesting, I'll try it. Here are my chapter titles.

  1. Ignorance is bliss.

  2. Loneliness and anger.

  3. How to ruin your life with one simple marriage.

  4. Growth, healing, and self-discovery.

  5. How I became an ethical billionaire.

Haha, jk about 5, I'm still in chapter 4 and there's no such thing as an ethical billionaire.

I read before that you live your life through your 20s and 30s like you usually do and then you’ll get a life changing diagnosis.

So with that in mind I’d say pre diagnosis and post.
