“As you get older, you want less from the world; you just want to experience it. Any barriers to feeling emotions get dismantled. And ordinary things become beautifully poetic.”
~ Richard Linklater
Following many years of traumas, disappointments, broken promises, and unrealized dreams, you settle for special moments. Those unexpected, one-shot deals that seem to come out of nowhere, without your intervention; possibly the result of random circumstance, good luck, fate, or God’s hand. Regardless of origin, you consume each special moment with a lust driven fervor and insatiable hunger, until every last drop is consumed, as if it were your final crumb of fleeting happiness.
