Why is that absolutely incredible?
- alextheparrot 7y agoThe wording of the original author may have been imprecise, but I’m in a similar place so I’ll try to translate my feelings as well. It is a certain form of awe, to realise that one’s life so far will likely just be a small fragment of the whole. It isn’t intuitive aside from mathematically — it is a thought that only at a certain age becomes apparent and then drifts off to be forgotten again. Realising that the journey is so much longer, it both storms and calms the soul. The calm from the meditative “I still have time to become”, the storm from a similar “But I only have time to become”.
