Have you ever felt like you’re running out of time?

Because you are. We all are.

Prologue: The Countdown

I turned 20 this past year. I’m not old, by any means, but I’m not a kid anymore.

And more than ever, I feel like I’m running out of time. I know I’m not the only one. Running out of time to succeed, to do the things I want to do, to figure things out.
