I love that you shared this. I think we all arrive at similar musings from time to time. Something I would add to this train of thought (something I've personally learned) is that the "right" thing to do is just to live. Not in the future or the past, but right now. Because like you said, eventually, everything melts away and we realize that life wasn't what we thought it was and we weren't who we thought we were. But one thing's for sure: We're not as different as we think we are.
