“Had I done anything significant during my thirty-year existence? Had I spent time with the people I really wanted to spend time with? Had I said all that needed to be said to the people who mattered?”
― If Cats Disappeared from the World

“I was so busy dealing with what happened to come up at any given moment that I left all the important things for later.
I got so caught up with all the little everyday things that I ended up wasting the time I could have spent on more important things. But the scariest thing is that I never even noticed that I was wasting my precious time. If only I'd stopped for a moment to get some perspective, away from all that busy running around. It would have been obvious what the most important thing was, and which of those calls (if any) really mattered.”

“All the moments I'd lived through, more or less without thinking about it, began to feel very important. How many more walks would I be able to take with Cabbage? With the amount of time I had left, how many more times would I be able to listen to my favorite music? To enjoy a cup of coffee, a good meal? To say good morning, sneeze or laugh?”

That's just the way it is.”

“What will they talk about? What memories will they share as they gather around my casket?
Thinking about this I started to wonder. What had I given to the people around me while I was alive? What would I be leaving behind? My whole life will be summed up in those moments that I won't be around to see — the time after I'm dead. In all the thirty years I'd been alive this was the first time I'd ever thought about this. My whole existence had taken place within this little sliver of time that sat between two much larger chunks of time — during which I didn't exist. It's been within this narrow slice that I have made my mark... for whatever it's worth.”
