Stages of Life, and its Sensations

During Childhood

There was a sense of endless discoveries

There was a sense of constant urgency

There was a sense of unlimitedness

There was a sense of infinite curiosity

There was a sense of natural wilderness.

During Adolescence

There was a sense of rebellion

There was a sense of unavoidable doubts

There was a sense of self-non-acceptance

There was a sense of immortal friendships

There was a sense of immense power.

During Youth

There was a sense of immense growth

There was a sense of lustful love

There was a sense of intrinsic differentiations

There was a sense of manifesting potentials

There was a sense of intellectual learnings.

During Adulthood

There was a sense of self-imposed conformity

There was a sense of uncontrollable fear

There was a sense of inconvenient obedience

There was a sense of surrendering accommodation

There is a sense of excruciating repetitions.

During Old Age

There was a sense of existential limitation

There was a sense of lifeless boredom

There was a sense of piercing loneliness

There was a sense of freeing acceptance

There was a sense of inevitable departures.
