You know, it's a very strange thing getting older.
Sure, I'm only 22... but isn't aging weird?
I mean, we clearly don't all age the same way.
If we did, all 22 year olds would act and feel one way, and all 33 year olds would feel a different way.
But we all know that's not true.
We're all fucking messes.
My friend Dan who used to be my boss Dan has known me since I started college, and one day he told me that I wasn't the same "doe-eyed alex" he met as a freshman.
Do you ever wonder if you've already been the best you'll ever be? If it's all downhill from here?
Maybe freshman me was the best me - doe-eyed, confused, adorable.
Now I have all the answers - yes, all of them. ...are my eyes dead?
Sometimes I feel a little dead. A little fake. A little Narcissistic. A little Histrionic. A few other problems in there.
Other times I feel like I'm the only one that knows how to feel, how to think, how to... be.
I know that's silly... but it happens.
I can only hope I'm doing this right.

Oh Alex, read my post titled `25 years` - i came to the same conclussion about the person that I now am, and if this si somewhat true, you still got 3 more years to shape yourself, and yes, it will probably only get worse.
ReplyDeleteFunny enough, looking back, I swear I haven`t changed as much since I turned 25 until now, compared to how much my personality changed from year to year before then, so I wonder if it`s actually true :-|
