Sometimes I feel old,
Sometimes I feel young,
But I've never felt
like my past self.
I'll never feel what it's like
to ride my bike for the first time,
to have no responsibilities,
to be so naive and innocent.
I'll never feel what it's like
to not grow up,
to not learn more.
That's adulthood.
That's human.
That's me.
Yes...that forward momentum keeps pulling us, making us older and wiser whether we really want to be or not.
