Meghan Daum Quotes

What I Miss Is The Feeling That Nothing Has Started Yet, That The Future Towers Over The Past, That The Present Is Merely A Planning Phase For The Gleaming Architecture That Will Make Up The Skyline Of The Rest Of My Life. But What I Forget Is The Loneliness Of All That. If Everything Is Ahead Then Nothing Is Behind. You Have No Ballast. You Have No Tailwinds Either. You Hardly Ever Know What To Do, Because You've Hardly Done Anything. I Guess This Is Why Wisdom Is Supposed To Be The Consolation Prize Of Aging. It's Supposed To Give Us Better Things To Do Than Stand Around And Watch In Disbelief As The Past Casts Long Shadows Over The Future.
