how we think about our lives?
I watch people. I watch myself. I hear what we say. We say, “I can’t wait until . . .
until I grow up.
until I move away.
until I get a job.
until we get married.
the baby is born.
until he walks.
until she talks.
until he can . . .
until she can . . .
until I can . . .
until we can . . .
until morning, until 5 o’clock, until my birthday, until you come home, until we leave, until, until, until . . .
In a few thousand thoughts, we can wish our lives away.
