@tuvecinadeallado: "You've already started dying. Today. Right now. And no, I'm not being dramatic. There's a line from Heidegger — man dies constantly, until the moment of his actual demise. Not "man will die." Dies. Present tense. Ongoing. Because dying isn't the thing that happens at the end. It's the version of you at 22 that's already gone. The relationship that ended and took a whole self with it. The version of you before the divorce, before you stopped believing whatever you used to believe. Small deaths you already survived. We talk about death like it's one door at the end of a long hallway. Heidegger's saying — no. You're walking through doors like that constantly. You've died a dozen times already. You're just still here to talk about it. And that's not depressing — that's the point. If dying is happening now, so is living. So — what part of you is dying right now, that you haven't let go of yet?"
