But today I am about to embark on a journey, and I can't help feeling so old. I think I have aged 20 years in a mere matter of weeks. I have been in denial about this trip from the beginning, and now that it is here, I just want to curl up in my bed and stay there forever.
But readers, we must all face the world and I guess I would rather face it with my head held high than to have it find me hiding in my bed, hopelessly in denial about reality.
Unlike that optimistic guy, maybe we all have to climb out of the sand and save ourselves.
