This is a morbid take but it applies to me right now.
After 30 or 30s rather, you are in a position of your life where you can look back at everything that has lead up to your life at its current point. If you decide that your life hasn't been as fruitful as you wanted it to be, you've endured a lot of shortcomings, you've taken a lot of shit on the chin, you're not looking forward to growing old where anything and everything will take advantage of you. I can't blame a single person who decided to call it a wrap, if you know what I mean.
I plan on going on a little more further but there will be a stage in my life where I've got nothing to both look forward to and nothing worth of merit that had made my life completely worthwhile, where I'd just call it right then and there.
Yeah I can see that, I've been in that space. Ultimately at some point I decided if I was done, why not insteadtry doing something drastic like cutting all ties and trying to travel the world by any means necessary, just starting over and getting all the living I can done, you know?
