The Speed of Time

It's the new year - cue the chorus of "Time is moving so fast!" and "How is it January already?" I have been overly obsessed with the speed of time since my 7th birthday. I specifically remember the feeling of time relentlessly moving forward (and the idea that I really would grow old someday) deeply settling into my bones. It was an awful feeling. Ah... the existentialism of a 7 year old!

So now, almost 30 years later, I sit firmly in the year 2025 gently reminding myself that time moves at the exact speed it's supposed to. The linear unfolding of days is exactly what the human experience is, and making peace with that is important to me. Being around those that are dying reminds me that getting to see another year arrive is such a privilege. We are alive in 2025 and that is remarkable.

In this newsletter you will learn about why it feels like time moves so fast and what to do about it. Keep scrolling and you will see the book, podcast, artwork, and song of the month, as well as a (really funny) comic at the very end. Click on any of the sections if you want to learn more. Feel free to reach out if you or a loved one need help concerning end of life issues. I'm deeply grateful for your readership and I hope you enjoy.
