“Estás empezando a entender que la vida es banal. Finalmente entiendes que las cosas no tienen mucho sentido. Estás saliendo del reino de fantasía del “cuando yo crezca” y aceptando que has crecido, que ya sucedió. Y no fue como lo habías imaginado. No eres quien pensabas que serías”.

“What are you trying to control?”

“Everything”, I said, realizing it as I said it out loud. “I'm trying to have a hand in everyone's opinion of me. How everyone behaves towards me. I'm trying to stop bad things happening. Death, disaster, disappointment. I'm trying to control it all.”

“It is futile and knackering to try and make all your tiny choices representative of your moral compass then beat yourself up when this plan inevitably fails. Feminists can get waxed. Priests can swear. Vegetarians can wear leather shoes. Do as much good as you can. The weighty representation of the world cannot rest on every decision you make.”

We all know we’re going to die, and yet we still live. We shout and curse and care when the full bin bag breaks, yet with every minute that passes we edge closer to the end. We marvel at a nectarine sunset over the M25 or the smell of a baby’s head or the efficiency of flat-pack furniture, even though we know that everyone we love will cease to exist one day.
