experience temporal whiplash from the little cultural shocks that reveal that you're aging? consider spending some time defining your ideal 90yo elder self! when you have an elder self to look forward to, the dismantling of your youth can become a pleasant and even joyful process

ie: if you feel old, imagine yourself even older, and in a nice way that you'd like. that way each time the rug gets pulled out from under your feet, you can hop onto a new rug that you already picked out for yourself

Love this portrayal of a Vyasa as a dark-skinned sage. This is who I’m gonna be when I grow up
