Aging

Today, I am saddened by the thought of Tom Hanks and Phil Collins' aging. I think they look like each other and I like them both very much. I don't want them to weaken or die anytime soon. I don't wanna see them age. I want them to look forties all the time.

I admire both of them very much. I don't know if they're good people in real life, I simply like them. As I watched Phil Collins on a youtube video, singing "Against All Odds" in a 1984 concert and then in a 2005 or 2006 concert, I felt a lump in my throat. It was painful to watch him sing full of effort! He is still great but not that great anymore. He has, undeniably, changed!

I don't really understand why I'm feeling down all of a sudden. All I can think is "I don't want this person to wither."

It is really heartbreaking that people never stay where they are. They always have to go some place else. They are not only constantly changing but are also aging. I feel that as I age, I go one step closer to the exit, to the end. I don't feel relieved at all that I am heading towards the sure end of a tiring journey. I just feel more and more isolated from people 'coz I know that when I reach where I'm going, I won't feel them and they won't feel me anymore. Certainly, they will forget that I was once with them and that we were once happy together.

I am a fool to worry about my being a passing thing. I am passing. We all are.
