"i know that i am supposed to shoot through time this way, but it seems profoundly unfair. i know that there is an evolved self, within me, who is begging me to release the iron fist i have on every passing second that slides away. i know i have plenty of time, more than i know what to do with, but it is still true that every single waking moment feels precious and confounding to me."

this whole thing is perfect thank you for sharing
