I wish I’d paid better attention. I didn’t yet think of time as finite. I didn’t fully appreciate the stories she told me until I became adult, and by then I had to make do with snippets pasted together, a film projected on the back of my mind. Jessica Maria Tuccelli
About This Quote

When you are young, you take all the time in the world to listen to people. But when you get older, that time increases exponentially. You don’t always hear what is being said that time at first, but even if you only remember the gist of what was said, it’s enough to understand things. The problem is that when you get older you start paying attention to other things, like money and health problems. Things that are more important than any story your mother ever told you.
