Great read! I turned 29 recently having been 27 at the beginning of Covid. I think this acute consciousness of the transient nature of life is exacerbated by the current situation where people's lives are on hold but time continues to tick.

Ah, the cruelty of time that waits for no person. I am one of those people who never thought much about birthdays until this New Year. I will turn 26 and I don't know where some of the years of my life have gone. What did I do? Were there milestones? It feels like amnesia.

Perhaps I will write about my journey with life and age as well. Hmm.

I started quarantine when I was 19 and my 21st birthday is in 2 weeks. I feel like I missed a pivotal year in my life where I was supposed to grow. How can I be 21 if I didn’t experience 20? Thankyou for writing this. Can’t wait to read more.
