    Me.

    I achieved all my dreams in late 20s. Travels, adventures, skills, relationships - whatever I wanted, I got it. I have nothing in life that I’d really want to see or try that I didn’t already.

    Lemmy… I can’t think of a more perfect example right now.

    Well, maybe not peak, but definitely grow fast. It wasn’t ready for this kind of a growth spree.

    I don’t believe in the whole “peaking too early” thing, you can grow any day of your life, even if you’ve seen and done all, learn and open your eyes. “Peaking” after what standards? What does that even mean? Imo it’s like accepting your cognitive limits & that I could never and will never do as long as I breathe.
