One little phrase, at least two different meanings.
There’s the shocked-inquisitive sense of expectations unfulfilled: “This is it?“
And then there’s the sense of satisfaction, of understanding gradually or suddenly that, in some important way or another, you’ve arrived: “This is it.“
How we spend our days, it’s said, is how we spend our lives — and that’s true. That’s it.
How’s it feel?
