I was holding, like, someone, you know, just now, and they were asleep and so tiny, and I just got hit with this completely out-of-nowhere dread. It was this really intense flash—like, what if I just... don't make it to see this person hit, what is it, midlife? Like they’re grown and established and doing their thing, and I’m just… not there? It felt like a truly bizarre cognitive distortion because there’s no immediate threat, but it was just this overwhelming sense of temporal displacement, or something. Ugh, probably just lack of sleep, right? But it was SUPER unsettling.
