GROWING UP IS HARD

BIG CHILDREN RARELY HAVE A CHILDHOOD.  EVERYONE EXPECTS THEM TO ACT OLDER THAN THEY ARE. 


AND KIDS NOWADAYS HAVE NO CHILDHOOD.  THEY'RE EXPECTED TO KNOW EVERYTHING.  POOR UNDEVELOPED BRAINS. 


I WOULDN'T BE YOUNGER FOR ANYTHING.  NOT MONEY.  MAYBE HEALTH THOUGH.  IF I COULD BE IN GREAT PHYSICAL CONDITION INSTEAD OF RELIVING MY CHILDHOOD I'D PROBABLY JUST LIVE AND FORGET THE INTROSPECTION. 


SOCRATES' UNEXAMINED LIFE CAN JUST BE FUN?  MAYBE THAT'S WHAT HE MEANT.  AN UNEXAMINED LIFE MAY BE DOOMED TO CRASH AND BURN.  I DID.  I DIDN'T THINK OF THE RESULTS OF CARING FOR MY PARENTS AND FINDING OUT THE FAMILY SECRETS AND HAVING TO REJECT DENIAL AS AN EFFECTIVE COPING DEVICE UNLIKE MY SISSES. 

I DIDN'T CONSIDER THE FALLOUT.
