They, they, they kind of, you know, there's that thing where you don't raise your kids, they raise you.
So I don't know.
I think that that's kind of something I'm trying to pass the baton from the critic to the, to the cheerleader or to the child.
Apparently that is
a proven fact that our brains subjectively experience time differently as we get older.
So in terms of subjectively the spread of our life,
and how it feels to our brains is 50% of our life is lived between the age of zero and eight years old.
Which is crazy.
That's like half of it because of how a day feels when you're a little kid, how expansive and huge it can feel and how quick a year can feel towards the tail end.
So yeah, as you're starting to feel more and more conscious of time and its passage, like what is that doing for you?
Does that just mean streamlining and focusing on the things you really want to?
How are you managing with that?

People who can make you forget yourself.
