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.
