When we think about our life, we usually think about it in a form of a story.
First we were born and then we did some things and made some memories and now we're here and we work at our job or whatever.
But in the future we plan on doing more things, seeing the world maybe and saving up enough money for a enjoyable retirement.
We all tend to view our lives in a sort of narrative structure like this,
with the beginning, a middle and an eventual end.
Which kinda makes sense because by reflecting on the past, it helps us make sense of where we are now and by having hopes and dreams for the future, it gives us something to look forward to, something to plan towards and if we currently don't like our present situation, we can place our pains and frustrations on the hope of a better tomorrow.
But if you think about what it feels like to actually live life, like what it feels like on a day to day basis, it feels completely different.
We kinda just wake up, we feel kinda groggy, we stumble downstairs, get the coffee, hop in the shower, you get dressed before getting in the car to get that bread.
And after you get that bread, you get more bread at McDonald's because you have an addiction and then you come home, usually pretty tired and you veg out and watch Netflix or whatever you do until you go to bed.
This is what living life usually feels like to most people most of the time.
