Thank you for that reminder. And i appreciate poems that are easy to read and understand.

Wow… your comment resonates with me beyond belief. Momento mori is a motto that my favourite artist, Mac Miller, lived by. 

I didn’t realize until you said it, thank you for being so observant!

A very important reminder. Also, I feel like the informal rhyme scheme fits in with the theme of not taking life too seriously. This poem perfectly encapsulates the idea of "momento mori." Very well done.

concise yet very imformative

I really hate the feeling that I'm getting older. I've kind of speedran the process Abit and it's a horrific feeling

I really love poetry about time or losing time or just the sad themes of time. I wrote a birthday poem because I just turned 28. 
I'm terrible at criticism and will mostly just give you praise because I think poetry is a super personal thing 
The first lines really grabbed me, like, it's ok to feel/act like a child because your child is still there!
Thanks for sharing

This put my articulated my feelings so well, thank you! Perfectly said.

I love the 5th line, especially “eat all your impulses”. It feels very visceral. The feeling of jumping on your impulses feels like having a big appetite and devouring food like there’s no tomorrow.

You are the youngest you’ll ever be
