I always knew I was gonna die, so I spend attention cherishing the present moment. But I don't think I fully appreciated, as a young adult, how many of the joys in my life were going to pass - friend groups, passionate interests, nice places I lived, etc.

My life is good now, but it's so different from what it was. Younger me didn't anticipate that one day I *wouldn't* want to be reading a fantasy novel every day, or spend 8 hours/day chatting in online groups with people I'd never met. I thought that would be me forever

Hopefully AI can someday bring us to a point of mind upload where it's figured out how to transfer consciousness to a computer substrate without merely making a copy and we can live for as long as the universe exists. Low probability, I know, but hey one can dream.

The real secret of human life is that recognizing the transience of experiences right down to your bones is where the freedom is.

If I had known how fleeting it all was when I was young, I would have spent my youth stressing about it.
Being ignorant to the fact, one goes through their youth staring fate in the face fearlessly, feeling invincible.
Ah, to experience it again, if only for a moment.
