Old Age

Try as I might, I can’t seem to stop aging. While my mentality has remained a constant (currently that of a 10-year-old kid in 1990), my body has nevertheless continued to advance onward, even to this very day. In other words, I have a really hard time believing that I am someone who can be labeled as an “adult,” weighed down with responsibilities, privileges, and expectations that I have normally associated with “real” adults, like my parents and their friends.

The stories on this page detail my struggles with accepting this fact. Many of them appeared in the pages of my collegiate alma mater’s newspaper, the staff of which I served on as a “special guest columnist” 5+ years after I graduated, describing life post-graduation.
