“ The fear of the drugs running out is manageable-the fear of time running down isn’t. ”
It was painful to contemplate the distance between the future of accomplishment I'd imagined for myself twenty years earlier, and the reality...it was painful to understand that the cushion of exceptionality invoked by the drug had made me oblivious to my inertia. And it was painful to have to define myself again, at an age when most people are happy in their own skins.

It was painful to contemplate the distance between the future of accomplishment I'd imagined for myself twenty years earlier...it was painful to understand that the cushion of exceptionality invoked by the drug had made me oblivious to my inertia. And it was painful to have to define myself again, at an age when most people are happy in their own skins.
Never has nostalgia held stronger sway, never has the belief in the redemptive possibilities of the future seemed so laughable.
The fear of the drugs running out is managable-the fear of time running down isn't.
