I'm part of this sector, but I've always seen it as no different than other stages of my life. I believe I think that way because I've looked at life from the perspective of one body of work, rather than dividing it into phases, from the beginning. Or, just three phases, but the life phase sits alone in the middle; birth - life - death.

I don't know why I view "life" in this way, but I suspect I'm not alone.

Nice to meet you @roleerob!
