“To feel today what one felt yesterday isn’t to feel – it’s to remember today what was felt yesterday, to be today’s living corpse of what yesterday was lived and lost.”
— Fernando Pessoa
Simplified Meaning:
When you try to feel the same way today as you did yesterday, you are not actually feeling it again; you are just remembering the feelings from yesterday. This turns you into something like a living memory of what has already happened and is gone.
