Life Quotes Quote by Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

In college, the post-college “adult” person was always looming in front of me, smarter, stronger, more organized. Then the married person, then the person I’d become when we have kids. For twenty years, literally, I have waited to become the thin version of myself, because that’s when life will really begin.”
