goodbye first quarter
i made a sketch of my left hand, and noticed how my hands have changed. last time i really looked at them was a couple of months back. oh yes, i do love looking at my hands, but lately i have’nt been paying too much attention to them, except when dave and i are doing stuff with our hands. now, they are still candle-shaped, and nice, but more veins are showing, and the joints are a bit swollen. the signs of aging. and it’s scaring the shit out of me.
i was wrong. i do not have a sad life. as a matter of fact, if i lay out my 24 years to you, you would say that i have lived a very interesting life. i started out early, you see, and so i accumulated myriads of memories, not to mention countless men. aherm to that.
