okay, im 27...
by OwnPersonalDemon on August 01, 2007 ...plus a month and a couple days...if I was a rock star id be dead...I got a year to go tho...better not count em yet... taking stock...i been living in a tunnel for almost nine years with only a few tiny holes in which to breathe...the tunnel seems to travel as far as I travel and where ever i travel there it is...there was no escaping...fucking tunnel vision... I didnt have an identity either, I existed thru others, for others...there was no me, there was me by extension of him or her or them...if I didnt exist to someone, then i didnt exist by that less of an amount...so if I was known by everyone in the world, would I only then truly exist? i dunno...i think thats a fruitless way to look at it now... and hey fear and doubt, always fun stuff...Ive always feared things i have yet to try, always anticipating the worst, and whenever I tried it, my expectations didnt match my anticipation of the event or action...and yet i still feared what I didnt experience...I think to a certain extent I still do, and maybe I always will...but... a little over a week ago i got back froma road trip, did some things I did before (dayton, smokies) and somethings I havent, the ocean, which is something everyone must see once in their life...it broadened my horizons I guess...then the last day of the trip we stop in my old hometown...something I wasnt looking forward to...and yet, it was a pretty good day, some things happened that really changed my outlook...really tiny insignificant things and yet at the end of that day, i said screw it to the doubt, fear and anxiety I had always felt... the tunnel disappeared into the light...this bitter, cynical old bastard became an optimistic, almost sickeningly cheerful person...I feel now I have my own identity, that people do acknowledge me, that I dont hate myself...I want, no I feel i need to finally do something with my life, instead of giving in to the tunnel that has plagued me for such a long time... so im 27, the year that claims all the greatest rock stars...is it the year I make a change for the better...I dunno...I guess tune in to find out...i cant really tell you what station though...just turn the knobs for a while, you may find me...
