I wonder how much older I've became. I've never counted my years anymore since around 7 years ago. But surely I know that I was much stupider 3 years ago and for a long time before that. I've never imagined that I would've learned so much and gone through much more bitter and sour things than I expected.

I guess I didn't sing "I wanna be like Peter Pan, I don't wanna grow up" loud enough. When I was 13 I wished he'd lost his shadow in my neighborhood.

I thought 13 would be forever. But then I figured out that there are other numbers too. Nice ones, even.

Oh well. We still have a long time to go.
