I want to be able to experience everything. I want to experience being a husband experience being a father experience maybe hopefully someday being a grandfather and all those things. I want that experience. When I die I want to be exhausted.
I think I have a tendency to look at things subjectively rather than objectively when I reflect on my experience.
