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

• I always mean to thank the people who shaped me "someday when it feels right," and that someday never comes because life keeps crowding it out
• There’s one person who genuinely changed the course of my life and I never properly told them
• Looking back, I see how much of who I am came from specific people
• There’s a thing I’ve told myself I’ll do "someday" for years now
• I move through my days taking nearly everything for granted, never once thinking about the strangers across centuries who suffered and sacrificed so I could have the ordinary comforts I barely notice
