Too old is when the youth decide they don't want you around anymore.

[voice] neverplaysfair October 18 2011, 08:12:42 UTC

Some things I used to do when I was younger. And yourself?

[voice] fierybluebird October 18 2011, 08:39:59 UTC

Not really.

If I still had the things from my childhood, I'd still keep them I suppose. Call it nostalgia. Another year and yet I don't seem to lose habits, just grow more. Perhaps that's a sign of a stunted personality development on my behalf, eh?

You might also just be the type who has a hard time letting things go.

[voice] fierybluebird October 18 2011, 20:57:11 UTC

That too. [A small laugh and a grin that is evident even in just his tone.]

[voice] neverplaysfair October 18 2011, 23:19:03 UTC

Do you know why?

[voice] fierybluebird October 19 2011, 01:51:31 UTC

I enjoyed the past. It's not that I don't think the future can be better, but I don't see why I can't have both.

I'm selfish.

[voice] neverplaysfair October 19 2011, 03:41:15 UTC

What do you do if holding onto the past would ruin your future?

[voice] fierybluebird October 19 2011, 05:02:20 UTC

I hold no regrets. Always keep moving forward.

My father wouldn't have it any other way, and the things most precious to me need me to do that for their sake. I don't live in the past if required, only if optional.

How about you?

[voice] neverplaysfair October 19 2011, 18:42:07 UTC

Being bound to the past can only stifle your progress forwards. Personally, I'm a fan of fresh starts. But I suppose I'm not really one to say much about it.

Too many people seem to get trapped in their own pasts.

[voice] fierybluebird October 20 2011, 02:07:30 UTC

My past and future are still pretty interconnected. Ah, but I suppose there are somethings from my past I'd like to continue but it would require sacrificing my future right now... pity.

[Deadpan toned despite the seriousness of that statement.]

[voice] neverplaysfair October 20 2011, 04:23:12 UTC

At least you acknowledge it.

[voice] fierybluebird October 20 2011, 06:31:37 UTC

Of course. Priorities can be complicated, but there are some things I'll do anything to protect.

Eh, that all sounds like a lot of words to mean nothing.

Basically, my family comes first, vengeance comes second. Vengeance was just a means to an end, the end being protection of family. If seeking vengeance would hurt my family, then the value in it is misplaced. If you're able to follow that.

[voice] neverplaysfair October 20 2011, 17:30:48 UTC

Mmm. It takes strength to be able to admit when you need to stop trying. It's admirable in a way.

[voice] fierybluebird October 20 2011, 20:52:47 UTC

I haven't given up.

If I can find a way that won't risk my family, I'll do it.

[voice] neverplaysfair October 21 2011, 23:28:45 UTC

I'd wish you luck, but vengeance is an ugly thing. But I hope you can find your happiness.
