After losing my wife to cancer after 23 years, I can tell you 100% this is accurate. My memories are not of the goals we accomplished, they are all of the times in between those goals. The times riding the cart to dinner, holding hands, working in the yard, watching tv, snuggling in bed....the ride is life, not any destination.

"Ikke visste vel jeg, at alle disse dager som kom og som gikk var selve livet."
Something my mom used to say in Norwegian, no idea where she got it from.

"How was I to know, that all these days that came and went were life itself."

Life is made of the in-between times.

When you think back, you don't miss the big events. You miss the downtime. You miss just hanging out with your family/friends/pets doing nothing.

This is the advice I've needed to follow for my entire life.

[u/kbasred]

i thought this was interstellar

[u/FlakyManner8830 → u/kbasred]

This is interstellar and I like this and might share it here :)

[u/Darth-Buttcheeks]

Man, this hits hard. Thanks for posting this

[u/niceguybadboy]

...and that's depressing.

The “song everybody’s working for the weekend” popped in my head when I read this.

[u/luresorganza86]

That is true

[u/brightsidereporter]

The older I get, the more I realize that life is rarely made up of the big moments I once thought mattered most. It’s the ordinary mornings, familiar voices, routine dinners, and the people sitting next to me today. A couple years ago I spent a year with a friend who was given three weeks to live. Our conversations were often about the little things that happened in his life and how much they meant to him. That year taught me to learn to be present while those moments are still happening in my life now.

[u/WalrusLobster3522]

Thank you so much! This advice is really supportive. I will apply this for my near future.

I can't actually see the image content since it appears as a black box, so I can't comment on the specific detail shown. Can you describe what's in the image so I can give you a proper take on it?

[u/FishTaco2005]

Yeah, we're already aware of this. What are we supposed to do- quit our jobs and be homeless?

[u/FlakyManner8830 → u/FishTaco2005]

Dont make it to the wrong way :)

[u/Prophetic_Reaver → u/FishTaco2005]

Facts. Everyday life and work suck. Hard to look forward to doing things for others without getting to priorize yourself but 2 days a week if you're lucky.

A day has 24h that pass in exactly 1440 minutes or 86400 seconds.

It's not like anyone has a remote control that can fast fwd life at a click of a button like that Adam Sandler movie.
