Thank you! So much easier to read this than write it. I can't seem to mark the brevity of experience with its ego and so much oblivion lost in thought. Why do I keep expecting to have known these past doppelgangers!? I'm way too distracted to notice myself at present.

I love this and think of this often, how i look back at past versions of me with cringe and compassion, and yet, the me I am now will one day be the me of the past, accepting a future and unforecasted form of cringe and compassion yet again. I'd love to see the photos you reference!
