When this Vampire Weekend song came on during my run this morning, I felt like the Universe played it just for me. Do you know the tune?
What I hear is, “If dyin’ young won’t change your mind, baby, baby, baby, baby right on time.”
And what that says to me is: We don’t know if we’ll die young or not, so baby, we are right on time if there’s anything we want to do while we’re still alive.
For me, of course, that’s making sure to maximize my midlife crisis so that the coming decades, should I be blessed enough to have them, are more by design than by accident. Baby, it is right on time for that.
