And, now that you're older, can't you look back at past accomplishments and also ahead at potential better days with equal satisfaction and promise? Haven't you always been a hero and also an optimist? Haven't you learned to appreciate what you have and still may achieve? Have you not looked in the mirror ever and stared? Smirking sideways at the man you have become? Have you never looked up at the sky, head back, arms outstretched, eyes closed, and screamed at the sun? Owning the world and holding your future, finally understood, in the palm of your hand?
No.
Oh. So, so, hold on tight to these coming 480 or so months you have left, then. They are going to have to be your best. And be sure to dog-ear those special days somehow...because, fuck, you deserve that memory. And yours will soon fade.
