I remember my youth and the feeling that will never come back any more /the feeling that I could last for ever, outlast the sea, the earth, and all men; the deceitful feeling that lures us on to joys, to perils, to love, to vain effort /to death; the triumphant conviction of strength, the heat of life in the handful of dust, the glow in the heart that with every year grows dim, grows cold, grows small, and expires /and expires, too soon, too soon /before life itself . Joseph Conrad
About This Quote

The feeling I feel at the moment is difficult to describe. I feel as though my entire existence has been a dream, and now it has ended, leaving me with nothing but a sense of emptiness. This is what I feel. I have lived almost half of my life, but that half was filled with many things that I won’t ever experience again.

My life was full of beautiful memories that will forever be burned into my heart. I will never forget any of it. This sense of emptiness will inevitably fade away, but the feelings it brings will remain with me for the rest of my life.
