The Man I Once Was Part 1
The man I once was, I am not. Why? The likely excuses come to mind. I have changed as a result of age. Unfortunately, not always is the change for the better. Age is a curse. The eternally youthful person is the envy of everyone. No, not the wrinkles, and the smarts. Those are benefits of age. The curse is in the fact that, there is something to be said for child-like innocence. It is lost with age. Simple things, once viewed as amusing are now a "bother". Complex things that could be put aside are now forcibly shoved in one's face. I find it to be a cumbersome load of (for lack of a better term), trash. It gets heavier and heavier. It's usually a matter of knowledge. As a child, one is not aware of the harsh, brutal, and cruel reality of life. However, with age, the horrible truths become apparent. This is very much undesired. One becomes a monster with age.

What prompted you to write this? Not that I mind, I'm just curious ^_^

Actually, I looked back on that post... and it is a bit confusing... I meant to say that the physical effects are just natural, i.e., can't be helped. Who we are can be changed.

The change is... Scary, I find. Let's just say that it manifestation has been somewhat pronounced lately.

In what way?

Ok, curiosity did indeed kill that miserable cat. And, while I can't find it in my cold heart to feel bad for it, I should feel bad for you if you were driven to an untimely death as a result of curiosity. Do please halt the questions.

Curiousity killed the cat, satisfaction brought him back. I am not afraid! Death is almost welcome compared to this miserable existance we lead... I shall not halt the question. I shall just wait.. for now.
