Loved this. Reminds me of Oliver Burkeman's Four Thousand Weeks, the idea that naming the finitude of a life doesn't shrink it, it actually makes it feel more real and more yours. The billion-second framing does the same thing.
I don't 'get' numbers either. On teh one hand this post was quite mind-boggling. On the other, I felt a strange sense of peace and calm. Weird! Thank you for sharing.
You are very wise for 33 years. That has to make your life so much fuller. I just turned 70 this year. Buckle up buttercup. It gets unbelievably worse and better! Enjoy. I have a strong sense you will. Thank you for sharing your gift.
I love that you get weirdly deep about time and existence. Just speaks to me.
Haha thank you!

I loved this. I sometimes find myself thinking about just how crazy it is to exist. I'm glad others think about this too x
