Five years ago

Five years ago today the world, well, the world shut down. Remember that one?

Among other things I remember thinking, hmm, if this really is the end, I guess I lived a pretty good life.

Five years later I’ve had five more years of pretty good times. I guess it’s all just a bonus from the day we’re born, right? This is all one big mysterious bonus round.

I’d say I’ve gotten more philosophical as I’ve gotten older but really I think I’ve gotten less philosophical.

I don’t know why we’re here, I don’t know how long we have, and I don’t have an idea of really what we’re supposed to do with our lives.

As I often find myself saying… enjoy!
