We keep using the phrase later on in life A vague band-aid for the now. But how do you define it? When does it come? There are no numbers. There is no time. People don't have time to be human because they are waiting for a tomorrow that won't come. All that is certain is that later is promised. It will come. Whether it be a day, a week, or 22 years. Even the seconds ticking by now is your later coming true. You will make it to your later. I promise.
