everything i want to remember when i'm old enough to forget.
Ask me anything
Ask me anything
Ok, so for a few months now I’ve been saying (more to myself than anyone else) that I was much smarter, much more aware and had a way better sense of self at like 23-24. The few people I have said this to looked at me blindly. This wasn’t helpful. Then, THEN, I’m laying in bed watching Life and Times of Tim and reading Lorrie Moore’s Anagrams and I get to this paragraph:
‘basically, I realized, I was living in that awful stage of life from the age of 26 to 37 known as stupidity. It’s when you don’t know anything, not even as much as you did when you were younger, and you don’t even have a philosophy about all the things you don’t know, the way you did when you were 20 or would again when you were 38. Nonetheless you tried things out….’
Boom. Nailed it.
