FINITE System
If you haven’t read The Tail End by Tim Urban, you absolutely should. Seriously, go do it, I’ll wait. He basically uses stick figures and dumpling emojis to help us understand the finiteness of time and experience, especially with the people we love. He calculates that by the time he graduated from high school, he had already used up 93% of his in-person time with his parents. Granted, he lives the other side of the country from his parents, but even if you end up living close together geographically, the bulk of your time with your children is when they live with you.
