I Was Wiser When I Was Younger

I think I was much wiser when I was younger.  I found a hard copy of a journal I had about 10 years ago, one that I also kept on here before the big, giant DELETE i performed about 5 years ago.  I was much more prone to reason my way out of any emotional complications I may have fallen into, and somewhere along the way, I forgot how to do that or gave up trying to, I’m not sure.  Regardless, I’m donning that analytical, logical mantle again because it’s the only way I can save myself, I think. 

From  December 30, 2001 "Analysis of True Love"

"The truth doesn’t make you feel all giddy inside like the semi-fantasy you’ve composed in your head.  It takes a logical point of view, one that’s not biased by emotions and dreams to uncover the line between deceptions and truth.  Logic doesn’t overlook the little things that the dream makes excuses for."

I don’t know how I ever forgot that.
