But I feel like you enter your late 30s...

at least this was the case for me, like, probably 38, 39, 40, you know, I start waking up a little achier.

I start, and it just makes me realize, like, okay, take a beat, slow down, be present.

You don't have to do 20 things.

Do two things.

Say yes to that person and that person.

You're one person with two arms and two legs and a head.

Yeah.

You know, be present.

There's a remarkable coherence, this thread to your life's work, survival, memory, empathy, slowness, journalism, memorials, and time.

I don't know if it's cheating.
