127.MY FEAR

Hello again and today is Sunday, January 20, 2013. My fear, among many others, is that i am going to grow old. Well, not just old, because we all have to do that, but an old stiff. Some people already think I'm too uptight or stiff, and I'm afraid that it'll be exemplified in my old age. What I want is to become old while keeping a young part of me. To become a man without losing the boy in me. For christ's sake, I'm only thirteen and just the other day I noticed lines forming in my forehead. On top of that my hair sheds almost like a dog's and I have frequent episodes of undeniable senility. I want to learn how to keep a childish spirit as I age. Everyone learns how to do this, but the problem is that by the time they figure it out, they've usually grown too old to keep any of that childish demeanor. That happens to most people, there are a few exceptions, and I don't want to follow the path more trodden. That's my fear, now what's your's?

As always,
ZenMercury,
#myfear.

I think a lot about many things, but don't like to think about one thing too much; I'm kind of a rambling man.

You never think about how close you are to being a grown up until its almost here. To me graduation and jobs and everything was so far away,distant and nothing to worry about.

What have I learnt so far. Being 16 and all. I have learnt a smile is great. And to be nice and wait. Cause sometimes waiting is worth it. To enjoy every second every bit.

I may well be getting old. A little past my prime. But I kick against the pricks. And I do it all the time. I get a little achy. And my body feels the pace. But I've got my rebel's spirit.

I was always told when I was young I had an old head for a young body. Now it's a young head for an old body. 😏 My fear is I will die before my children grow up. 😥
