It was like that had to happen.

But there is not a person alive who somehow finds an old love letter they wrote.

And they're like, that was great work.

Like that was like, I can't believe this didn't change your opinion.

Like, you know, never like that.

And it is, it's like you're looking at someone who is not you, but it is you.

We want to believe that fundamentally we are the same person our whole life in some kind of deep way.

And then maybe the deepest way we are.

But, you know, it's just, it's an interesting thing.

One thing that I like about football is that even as it changes and no sport adopts technology more and nothing evolved more and has changed, there are aspects of it that cannot get away from the way it used to be, the old ways of thinking.

And, you know, I think when I was 20, I only cared about what it would be like

When I was 50 and now I'm 50 and it only seems to make sense the way things were when I was 20.

And that just proves I'm a person who has the inability to really live out, like live in time, like to live in the present.

I can't do it.

People say like live in the present.

I've never done that.

I'm only living in the past and the future at all times.

I'm not even here right now.

The fact that I'm like, I'm smarter now, I'm a better writer now, and yet there will be a certain kind of person who will always be like, those early books are better because...

They can really feel there's a person there.
