Life is short
Age 0-3: You don’t know anything.
Age 4-10: Early Childhood. Tag, screwups, naps, snacks, kool aid in little plastic bottles, chillin’ in general
Age 11-13: Late elementary, middle school. Learning the ropes. Still fun times.
Age 14-16: Early high school! Hate life sometimes, love it other times. “Life is so complicated. My parents can’t possibly understand me.”
Age 17-20: Late high school, early college. Possibly dating, a lot of academics, probably partying. You’ve got all the time in the world, right? [Boy | girl] drama here and there.
Age 21-24: “wtf” period. Get out of college. Possibly break a college relationship — holy crap, what am I doing? Move somewhere to do work.
Age 25-29: Wow I’m in my prime. Are those college loans paid off yet…? Hopefully [propose | get proposed to] by now…
Age 30-40: Either doing something great, or still trying to do something great. Either happily married, angrily married, divorced, or “wtf” still alone.
Age 41: Most people don’t get to do something great — midlife crisis?
Age 50-60: Nearing retirement, gee that didn’t take so long did it? Dick around for these 10 years, kids are in/almost out of college. God I hope I have a retirement plan.
Age 61-70: Oy, grandchildren! Yo crazy [gramps is goin FISHIN | grandma is darnin yo SOCKS (boy| girl)]! An mebbe I’ll write meself a MEMOIR, EH?! Or mebbe we’re all playin wid the latest technology.
Age 71-80: Eh, what wazzat [sonny|precious]? Can I still hear/taste/smell/feel/whatever? Oh crap I can’t remember anything. Maybe if I’m really smart, I spend my days doin’ math.
Age 80-100: Lah lah lah chillllll. Oh crap the world is at war. If I make it here before nuclear winter, seriously bless little baby Jesus. Okay time to die. If there’s anytime in life to find God, it’s now, EH!?
Notes: Only really have 20 years to accomplish something awesome. Not that many years to find love. Only about the same amount of time to raise children. Only 100 years to waste doing useless things.
Is it worth it living moment by moment, or should we be going for larger meaning?
D< the intervals aren't equal sized so the sense of time is warped. i guess we stop drastically changing after 30-40. but this is an old model! us, we're different, ima upload my consciousness to the terminator at age 80.
interesting perspective in to the brief-ness of life. we should definitely start looking beyond what the world says is life, and unto its Greater meaning
