I mean, the truth is that one is too old and one is not old enough!

I feel like I'm middle-aged at forty-one, although I've been told I'm not. And I'm behind in life stages and probably never going to catch up all of them. Anyway, good luck! I'm really bad at sticking to just one subject per site even with multiple Substacks and blogs...

My perception of time sped up drastically after age 40. At 50, one year goes by as quickly as a few months did in my late teens/early 20s. I'm obsessed with the perception of time and will be writing about this in my first post on the new stack. I'm super curious how other writers perceive time as well. I see it--I have temporal-spatial synesthesia.

As for "life stages," I've never been in sync. I'm all over the place.
