Has anyone in their 30s 40s 50s had a sudden change of perception of our own mortality?
I found myself thinking a lot about it recently (no significant events around me). I just find life so ephemeral now as compared to how I used to see life so grand and long it might as well have been infinite. Not anymore. I guess it’s part of growing old.
Anyone else feel similar?

in my case it happened much sooner, at 16 to be exact
Yep. IMO it’s a good thing. But there’s still a grand and long scale: how is that we arrived here at all, a momentary ripple in a larger fabric?

Yes, it’s very common (mostly) in men at that age.
