I was inspired by books like Goodbye, Again by Jonny Sun, and The Book of Disquiet by Fernando Pessoa, to start a recording of my reflections that occur to me sometimes, usually in the car, the gym, or the shower, but not confined to those locations. Just for fun, I have also recorded what I was doing when the thought occurred to me.
The Ratio Shrinks
I recently realized that as I get older, there are fewer and fewer people with more experience than me. This is a truism, of course, but something that I never thought about before. As the ratio of the number of my seniors to those of my juniors shrinks, the feelings of loneliness and isolation also increase. This, of course, is also a truism. There are fewer and fewer people that understand my experiences, and there are more and more that have yet to go through them, or something similar, if they do at all.
