It's finished. Everything went past, without me.

Past, Finished
Jennifer Egan (2010). “A Visit from the Goon Squad”, p.65, Anchor

I find myself thinking more about the past as I get older... maybe because there's just more of it to think about. At the same time, I'm less haunted by it than I was as a younger person. I guess that's probably the ideal: to reach a point where you have access to all of your memories, but you don't feel victimized by them.

Memories, Past, Thinking

some mornings... I sit at the kitchen table shaking salt into the hairs on my arm, and a feeling shoves up in me: it's finished. Everything went past without me.
