And it’s true. We don’t survive the trials of life we just molt into the next version of ourselves.
If a certain transformation is going un-completed because it feels like death, it can be helpful to recognize that it is death. That’s no illusion.
To truly live life to the fullest, one has to sacrifice their self to a future person again and again and again. When you finally get there, it won’t be as the person you are now.
I tried sacrificing myself to a future person once. But the future person had the same feelings, interests, and shortcomings. Then the future person realized herself as being no better than the person who sacrificed herself to her.
This too shall pass
Me: This too shall pass
My circumstances: YOU SHALL NOT PASS

IRS agent: You have thousands of dollars of overdue taxes
Me: This too shall pass

You get a letter from the DMV: “You have to appear at such and such …”
“No I don’t”
With enough time it will.

Will happen. Happening. Happened.
So what is it that you intend to do before you lose the capacity to do things?
All the things.
