I've been on this trip for almost 1% of my entire life.
At first that seemed like a big number. How is it possible that I've only been around 100 times as long as this trip, which has gone by in a flash?
After some more thought, the number seemed small. I've packed so much into this little bit of time - have I done enough with the other 99%? They say that without evil, there can be no good. Maybe without normal life, there can be no epic adventures? If your entire life is a bike tour, aren't you just a hobo?
Anyway, I was surprised when I realized the ~1% number, even if I'm not yet sure of the significance.
