May include most of the following

 

Knowing that no one has ever survived this life tends to afford us a little elbow room for experimentation. Accepting that failure is inevitable, I wonder how long the list of side effects would be for life itself.

 

·         Chronic yearning for things just out of reach

·         Sudden bursts of joy at inopportune moments

·         Recurring dreams of flying, falling, or forgetting your locker combination

·         Mild to severe heartbreak, often triggered by love, loss, or the smell of old books

·         Uncontrollable laughter during funerals or board meetings

·         Phantom nostalgia for places you've never been

·         Temporary paralysis when asked, “So, what do you do?”

·         Spontaneous weeping at music, kindness, or the last page of a good book

·         Occasional déjà vu, as if you’ve been here before

·         Imposter syndrome, during moments of success

·         Unexplained cravings for pie

And I’m sure there would be 60 additional pages.

By Golly you are right! I do suffer from Phantom nostalgia and spontaneous weeping! As for the pie - perhaps just apple!....or maybe pumpkin.
