Prior to being suicidal, procrastinating on bucket list because of 80 year lifespan?

[Loaf of bread]

So when I was younger I wanted to travel the world. I decided to procrastinate and not travel much, because "I have decades more to live, no need to rush the fun stuff now. I'll have lots of time later".

Then I became suicidal and now I regret that a lot. Turns out I don't have decades to travel all I want. All the time in good health ended far sooner than expected. Oopsie daisy!

Does anyone else relate? Procrastinating stuff from the assumption of 80 healthy years? Regret from that incorrect assumption?

Yes, I would have travelled more places with my kids if I'd known everything in my life would blow up at age 42. I would have done so many things differently I don't know where to begin. I would have been more frugal and focused more on time with my family.

I regret wasting all of my 20s in 2 long term pointless relationships that didn't serve any purpose as far as I can tell. I should've travelled overseas then and taught English in Japan which was always a dream for me. Too late now that I'm 43 and depressed joint problems galore and surrounded by fuckwit family members
