As we get older and stop making sense...

When we are kids, we are so damn selfish. Sometimes it is hard for me to remember, but then I am put in a moment that just reminds me of being young in such a strong way. I remember feeling selfish and me-oriented like I did back then. We haven't changed; we haven't become less worried about the small things. We just become more crafty in disguising it. For moments in time, I can obsevre my friends lapsing into these moments. If the most staunch immaterialists will fall into it.

We just discover ways to hide the impulses. We're clever, remember. We aren't less selfish and insecure, we just convince ourselves we are kind and giving, just a new way to feed ourselves. If someone pushes the right buttons, people will falter and all is revealed.

Fuck it.
