There are certain issues about getting old that we all have to come to terms with; memory failure, death of contemporaries, loss of bodily functions. But I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the realisation that you aren't as young as you thought you were. The time when 1 in the morning suddenly becomes a barrier that you seldom break. Premature ageing is not something you want to brag about, it's not cool to always be the first home and to consider people your own age young and foolish if they are still doing drugs because why would you want to see daybreak? But if they are the cards you are dealt then that's what you have to play with.
