<p>Does anyone know?</p>
<p>Why do I even exist? Why is the world not so magical anymore? Why am I not 12 like I was for so long? Why isn't the gap between the child and adult worlds as big as I thought it was? How in the heck did I actually manage to get people attached to me, even closely? (for a while, anyways?) People who I even wanted to get attached to? (it was so magical at the time, even though the inevitability of life made them eventually leave me?) I'm more amazed that I even got so close to them in the first place.</p>
<p>Why isn't it eternal DaRkNeSs? How does time keep on going on and on? Why do I sometimes look down on people who find it magical to reach milestones that I now consider trivial? Even though those milestones were so <em>amazing</em> at that time? (and from many senses they still are magical)</p>
