Life boils down to a few seconds

The final lap between Verstappen and Hamilton at Abu Dhabi 2021.

I know these are all examples from the sports world, but I'm using them to illustrate my point: life can be compressed into a few seconds. The vast majority of life is like the emptiness of space, devoid of everything. What did you eat this morning? What did you do last week? Do you even remember? Neither do I.

However, in between the vast emptiness of life, there are a few special moments. Getting the keys to your first car or house. The moment you decided to go to an amusement park on a random Saturday and the rollercoaster almost broke your neck. That time you went to a Lakers game and it went into overtime. Man, it brings a smile to your face, doesn't it?

My goal in life is to collect and cultivate these moments. As many of them as I can.
