Looks like every blacked out square is a week of time. So this would say that OP will be 22 years old in a few months.

I dont see the connection to the title of the post tho.

I just googled Memento Mori, it’s a Latin phrase that means ‘Remember, you have to die’. Maybe the OP was referring to this statement as a source of motivation to do what’s needed till we have time??

I think it’s more commonly translated to “everybody dies” OP is motivating themselves by reminding them that the clock is ticking.

That's gonna stop being motivating right around age 26.

Right? Once you find out you’re immortal death just becomes what it is, a 4D construct that stops your resonance with 3D realities you’re no longer compatible with. There is no ticking time bomb to fear, it was all in your head.

In the classical context, it was a slave whispering in the ear of the victorious general "remember, you are mortal." General idea, don't let the parade go to you head.

This is a motto of the Stoics. It translates roughly to remember that you will die. The idea is to keep in mind that you are mortal and you don’t know when your time will be up. Every day should be lived with purpose.
