Genuinely scary to think that I might only be 50% of the way through my life. I was looking forward to a nice rest.

The different kind of midlife crisis

Mid-century crisis.

How did it feel before you were born?

After you die, it's like that again.

It was like that for billions of years and it didn't bother me in the least.

That thought used to scare me to death. Now that I'm older... Yeah, I can let all this grief go when it's time. It'll be nice.
