Looking Back on Life.
“There is a sadness in realising that the person you have become is not the person you once wanted to be.
It is the sadness of looking back on your life and seeing all the ways you have compromised, all the dreams you have let go, all the parts of yourself you have lost along the way.
And in that sadness, there is a sense of mourning, not just for the life you could have had, but for the person you could have been.”
– T.S. Eliot,
The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.
