n 211


I always hear age makes you less tolerant. It's just that…well, I'd like to find myself feeling more willing to accept the differences and flaws in my fellow man but instead mostly my level of patience grows short with the simple annoyances of life and my ability to coupe with others judgements and tempers wears thin. At least I can say my level of caring about those things is nearing it's end.

It's far too difficult to try to be the person others wish to see in you however fulfilling it might be when you manage to achieve it. Those feelings are as fleeting as the flicker of attraction. They come and go; return just to leave. Bask in it and you will soon find that their subtle glow warms to a searing burn.

I find it so much more difficult to actually be who you are. That is to presume I even know who that is. I'd like to think it's a voyage of self-discovery, this life. I would rather spend the rest of my life discovering the elusive mysteries, even within myself, than have it all figured out here and now. Things get boring enough without taking all of the chance out of things.

Is it chance or fate that rules the spontaneity of my insignificant little existence? Does it truly matter? It occurs to me that the time has come for a laissez-faire model.

"Laissez faire, morbleu! Laissez faire!"
(Leave it, damn it! Laissez faire!)
