I lived through a unique period in my life. It started about 15 years ago. I'm 69 now. I began recalling times I recognized were not my best moments. Minor things, major things, memories popped out of nowhere and flooded my head. They were stunning because I hadn't thought about them for decades. I allowed myself to become melancholy. I began negating the good I could prove I've done. Functional but numb inside. My way out is/was similar to Jimmy’s.
