🔗 [The Olive Bar And The End Of Little Things](https://thedeletedscenes.substack.com/p/the-olive-bar-and-the-end-of- little):

It feels like those sorts of experiences—where you’re slightly free to do your own funny thing—are diminished. Everything in that genre of service/activity feels shut down and squeezed out. Maybe it’s harder for me to discern these kinds of tiny delights as I get older; maybe an adult is harder to please.

It always occurs to me that there must be things right now that I don’t even think about, which one day will be gone and which I’ll miss. You always wish you could have appreciated a thing when you had it, but that is one the most difficult things to do. We’re wired to always feel like every little pleasure is being taken from us, and not to feel gratitude for what we have in abundance right now.
