Who I Don't Want To Be

There's a person inside each of us, that is waiting for its chance to take control. There's also a voice that says we should give that person control. The voice starts as a whisper, easily ignored. As your childhood innocence blossoms into full blown adolescence, the voice begins to get louder. At this point some people begin to believe some of the lies, masked though they are. It's like the first time you try a beer, you want to grimace, but you keep drinking. Eventually you realize you actually like the taste. Not really the perfect analogy, because I'm trying to make the point that complacency gets easier and easier, and beer actually does taste good. Anyway, as adolescence edges toward adulthood the voice has either accomplished it's goal and is now quiet, or it's yelling louder than ever. If you can still hear the voice, then there's hope. If you don't hear anything, maybe it's time for some evaluating.
