That’s when I was terrified at six years old. I was watching Nickelodeon. They were making a time capsule & filling it with useless junk. I realized when they opened this capsule, I’d be gone, or so much older. Then I thought I wasn’t ready to be anything, and I didn’t want to die or grow old either one. I thought if I hid behind the pillows of my couch, death couldn’t find me, and old age couldn’t reach me, but I still had the same lightheaded feeling I always got when I’d look at the whole world upside down. That’s how the future seemed to me. That’s why, age 6, I think I had a mid-life crisis, and, since I figure I had one then, I’m living on borrowed time now, and it’s all superfluous, so I can enjoy myself, although I’m still weirded out about the future, too.
