When I was younger, endings used to sneak up on me and smack me in the head.
Having lived a little more life, I can see them coming. “See” might be the wrong word—I can feel the impending sense of several endings starting to coalesce.
Even though I am aware that things will soon change, no amount of forethought or planning will really prepare me. Plus, the time I spend preparing would be time lost enjoying the remaining time.
The impending doom I feel made this quote resonate with me as a nugget of hope to cling to moving forward.
