I was getting younger it seemed. It seemed like I was channeling a 13 year old.

Once all the stress from conforming my whole life was over, the real me started coming out. My blood pressure is down now. I live alone with my feline and canine overlords. And live is good.

I found out why life unfolded as it did for me. I found out why I drop things, and bang into door frames, and why I hate to have plans change on me.. It all makes sense.
