Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• The good moments slide right past me
• The good moments slip past me — a meal, my kid at this age, a season of life — and I only really feel them once they’re gone.
• Right now this feels totally solid and permanent, like the worst thing and it’ll never shift
• A good moment is right here in front of me and I’m already half onto the next thing
• Whenever I let myself remember that everything I love is temporary, it doesn’t make me grateful, it makes me clutch and dread
