Journey so far

Like it, still young at heart no doubt.

Need more info about you!  A lot of us weren't around when you joined.  What do you do in your spare time?   You could be a football club name eg Morton took that approach, a slogan, the name of a famous character eg PippyLongstocking is a member.  You could be Churchill?  Or some people choose a name associated with a local landmark.  

I'm not sure I agree with your conclusion that you must change your name though.  5 years isn't that long ago and if it was appropriate then, time doesn't change that decision.    

We need input from branstonpickle  because he's good at this stuff lol

Hi John, It's good to see you post again! Welcome back but no need to change your username, you will always be YoungMan to me!
When you first joined I was just over 5 years into my journey and had no idea I'd last another 5!

Maybe you will be saying the same to someone else in another 5 years, I hope so! Great to hear you are doing well!

Hi John, well your definitely a young man it's good to see your over 5 year's in, can't see a reason for changing your name.

I'm only 3 year's in, the longer others have been on this path the more inspiration it gives me.

Hi YoungMan 

Hello John, pleased to meet you. I agree with everyone, in that, you are still a Young man. I like the line in your profile that reads, The realisation that it's not an illness that gets better.

I was diagnosed at 52 and was told that I was young to be diagnosed with endometrial cancer and that I didn't fit the usual profile (older woman, overweight and not had children). I don't think anyone expected the cancer to turn aggressive and that I'd be stage 4 in 4 months. My CNS mentioned that my cancer had surprised them at every turn.

I hope, like you I'm still doing well 5 years down the line. Fingers crossed.

Hmm you could call yourself middle aged man but that doesn't sound so good.  Or oldie lol. Just stay with young man cuz for many you are!!!

Don’t make him live a lie Pet, he must learn to grasp the nettle of oldness.

I had to so why not YM?

@branstonpickle so far the consensus seems that I’m still youngman, I guess it’s all relative.  

I’m trying to hold off on oldness until I have no choice (or it’s beneficial b&q discount) 

Compared to BP, your definitely a young man. He more my generation.
