There was a time you know? A time where I wasn't like this, when one could hope to achieve more than he actually should, dreams where within grasp and the future was a soft voice whispering ideas that warmed even the coldest of the hearts.
But time is cruel, not life, life is just a pathway, time is the real villain here, you should listen to me boy, listen while you still can and don't get fooled by time, there is enough and not enough of it, you will see, it looks like its made of rubber, you need to learn how to deal with that. I could not and here I stand, serving as a cautionary tale at most.
And the time I had just passed, the whispering silenced and all the desired I had completely gone and filled by nothing but the most palpable regret, marking my soul as those scars mark my flesh, but don't be afraid of you will have yours too and you will wear them with proud like I do with mine.
You will look back and remember with joy what you had passed as you live the today, this I can assure you, the reality is a sweeter to any past and makes anything you will experience even harder, so be prepared, be better than I was. Live the fulliest, carpe diem, youngling.
Well I guess thats all I had to say, but I'm sure you will like Ms. Tilmann, and enjoy first grade more than I did, you are not in kindergarten anymore.
