You know how someone will say a fact like, “Nothing rhymes with orange,” and your brain immediately starts trying to find something that rhymes with orange? That’s how I felt reading these words: “Ultimately there will be as many last times as there were first times.” My brain immediately said, “No, there are things where there is no last time! Let me name them.” Except, you know, death. So there will be a last time to everything you begin.

Which is why this paragraph feels… mindset changing.

For ninety-nine percent of these last times, you will have no idea that that’s what it is. It will seem like another of the many middle times, with a lot more to come. If you knew it was the last-ever time you spoke to a certain person or did a certain activity, you’d probably make a point of appreciating it … Many last times are still a long way in the future, of course. The trouble is you don’t know which ones.
