age and you

i have a theory about ageing.
the idea is to picture yourself at an age you want to be.
not all the way to being 17 when you're above 30.
that's pure nonsense.

so the theory goes,
picture the age you want to be,
then hold that thought.
and go to bed with that thought.
don't let it go.
you'll wake up looking more or less what you want to look like
when you get up the next day.

i woke up this morning
and realised that i've aged.
at least 5 years older from yesterday.
i let my mind go when i went to bed last night.
so this is what happens.

by the way, i'm 15.
