Would your present-self be someone your 5-year old self look up to?
Back in the day, I had a couple kids look up to me; they would see all I did, and sort of try and copy me, but conspicously so as I would not take notice that they were. But I knew. Shit brings your priorities straight, like there’s this 11-year old kids just always watching you, seeing what you do, what you say, how you act, how you make people laugh. They used to copy me. So I wonder, when I fell off the edge of the cliff, did they copy that too..? Or was that something they did entirely on their own. I hope it wasn’t because they were just copying the guy they looked up to..this is one of my burdens; the burden of a role model..
