This might sound kind of strange, but is there anyone who'd be able to teach me how to knit?

	I guess having a long living family helps. A hundred years for a lifespan just sounds so depressing. When will I do all the things I want? I already have no time. How about a form of immortality where you can still choose when to step off the train? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I try to cram as much in as I can. Like I say, knowing time is limited makes me want to do things now, not procrastinate over it.

Although, ironically I'm enjoying a slightly slower pace here. There's something to be said for just being content in the moment.

That would be a good compromise, yeah. Immortality until I decided it was time to check out. Then again... risk is fun. You know, that buzz of adrenaline when you look death in the eye and manage to escape for a while longer.

But what if there are things that cannot be crammed into your schedule anymore? I'm no procrastinator. But it will take me human lifetimes to achieve the things I'd like to achieve.

If you do not have enough time, compromises need to be made.

I do enjoy a bit of thrill but not the prospect of death. My life is too important for others. Without my family, it'd be there in the boat with you.

I suppose then you have to learn to prioritize. I've spent a lot of time being selfish with my ambitions, focusing on what I want to achieve more than on the people around me.

Yes. Compromise is certainly a learning curve.

It's good that you recognize that. I don't know that my life was particularly important to anyone before I came here. I still find myself doing silly things, but it has put it into perspective.
