One by one they walked forward and began to form a circle around Fomoaley, who stood erect. Truman informed the crowd that this man was the tribal chief. Quietly at first, Fomoaley began to utter

And by passing of time, I mean the dawning realisation that time is finite, and we might have already wasted a lot. We used to have time to burn. But it was a late blooming into misery.

been thinking a bunch about the delayed/extended adolescence that all of us millenials seem to be stuck in, even as we blow past a quarterlife crisis. even as we're on the wrong side of 30.
