the older i get

i'm currently at an age where many of my peers are beginning to settle into marriage and family life leaving me asking what next. i don't foresee myself pitching a tent in either of these camps, but its hard to avoid at least walking through them, like some sort of sasquatch, people amazed and concerned with me.

for some it only brings the illusion of happiness. a promise of fulfillment ingrained in many of us from an early age. great numbers reach enjoyment from this next direction in life and i'm happy to see them this way, but for me i sometimes shutter at the idea, which leads me to illustrate things like this.
