yeah, i dont know about this stuff.
at some point white hairs started turning up in my beard. there they were. now i kinda like them.
i'm fine with where i am.
looking back, i think that i spent much of my younger life being a fucking idiot.
at some point i started wondering if, somehow, i'd become less stupid than i once was.
then i figured that's probably not the case, that i'm probably just stupid in different ways.
sometimes i think you figure things out right as you're about to die, maybe for the last 3 minutes.
like there's an moment of "what?...that was it?" then you expire.
getting older...there's no point in getting worked up about it.
it's not like you can do anything to change the facts of the matter.
