See If I Care...

Try to imagine a life without timekeeping. You probably can’t. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car. You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie. Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. Man alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.

I used to say ‘what will people think?’ ‘
But, it’s my life.
 I don’t care what people think. What they think only affects them, not me. 
So, let them think what they want.
 But, let me live like I want.’

Kids.  Teenagers.  As someone staring 40 in the face lemme tell you a thing.

If someone punches you in the stomach,“ he says, “it’ll hurt whether you were expecting it or not. So if the person you love stops loving you back, you’re going to feel the blow even if you saw it coming.
