I've enjoyed your hn posts so thank you for that. I hope you can make the most of the time you have left.
- mirimir 8y agoHey :) By "short", I mean (dog willing) 10-20 years. So there plenty of time for y'all to get very tired of me. I have noticed, over the last decade or so, that I'm becoming increasingly adamant about doing whatever it is I'm committed to in the moment. And not spending time doing stuff that doesn't interest me, to make others happy. I've always been somewhat like that. But now I'm much more upfront about it.
