Do you ever sit there doin mundanity when you realize hey, I'm gonna die; this moment's gonna pass, I'm gonna get older, this will be a memory, having slipped through my fingers like rope, but right now I'm gripping it, it's not gone yet, this is it, this mundanity is my purpose?

Not exactly that, but yeah. Kinda kills the whole idea of being motivated, tbh. Makes me seek out a more ideal state of being.

I often think about how much more robust my experience is in my short-term memories immediately after it happens than my long-term memories and how much of that is lost forever.

Yes, except for "this will be a memory". Instead, "I will forget this moment, too."

The Bible had a word for it - it’s called toil. All this useless nonsensical work that we do regularly, Sisyphean effort expelled trying to avoid the inevitable.
But hey, eat at Arby’s.
