“I’m almost 50, and here is the best thing I have learned so far: every strange thing you’ve ever been into, every failed hobby or forgotten instrument, everything you have ever learned will come back to you, will serve you when you need it. No love, however brief, is wasted.”
– Louise Miller, Twitter.
As my internal model of the world evolves, I find this to be increasingly true.
Introspection and time form links between loves near and far. The more these nodes, the richer my model gets, the clearer the patterns that form, the more obvious the truths that emerge, the more visceral their understanding becomes, and the fewer the conflicts I experience.
