"When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am..." - Iris

Signs of Aging

I never thought this day would come. But sadly it did. My friends, whom I've known since elementary/middle school days, and I were talking story. Just like old times. Except the topic was far from the carefree topics of... well God knows who even remembers what we talked about back then. But I know what we talked about today. INVESTMENTS! Freakin' investments. I felt like I was in a sitcom.. the kind I watched when I was younger, getting an "insight" into adult lift. Now this is my reality check. Wake up, Faye! You are an adult! There's no more "when I grow up I wanna..." moments. This is it. This is your life. What are you gonna do with it?


Hmm.. this situation reminds me of a Switchfoot song. Funny that they pop out during my pensive-about-life moments...

Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you’ve broken
Don’t close your eyes, don’t close your eyes
This is your life and today is all you’ve got now
Yeah, and today is all you’ll ever have
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes


This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose


Yesterday is a kid in the corner
Yesterday is dead and over


This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose


Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes


This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose
