Falling In Love Too Late
It's probably a very bad idea to fall in love late in life. Especially if you end up on the long end of the spring-autumn deals. At a certain point a man ought to hang up his hat. It's not like I have anything to share, but I do want to make the observation that when the opposite sex that floats into your orbit could be your grown daughter, you probably should exercise the discretion that gets described as the better part of valour - run the other way if you want to stay sane.
That said, there are any number of circumstances where such common sense gets thrown out the window. There's no guarantee you will find somebody you need to be during your 20s any more than there is a guarantee you won't. If you find yourself in those shoes, then the best you can do is to make the most of it. The things that happen in life are pleasantly surprising. You have to take every opportunity that comes your way.
The nectar of the gods flows freely. If you stumble upon the stream late in life, well, all the more reason why you should respect that moment and run with it. Don't mind what the world says about it.
