I often feel like I don't have enough time to do the research and writing on academic politics that I want to do, and yet when I turn around and think about how my parents are now 70, I realize that if I live to be their age, I'd actually have 35 years of time to work on these issues, which is a lot.
It's odd to think of the years stretching out ahead of me like that.
That, and how the city has ceased to be new to me in many ways in the 8+ years I've lived here, and how I now have my routines and am content to stay at home more.
I wonder if thinking like that is what causes midlife crises.
