the dawn of an older age

well.....
i've gone and done it.
i've asked questions.
seemingly innocent questions....
or so i thought.

i've always heard that it's good to ask questions.....
to explore the world around you and find out the things that you want to know.
but then i got answers. 
and
they weren't the answers that i wanted to hear,
seems the universe decided that i needed to hear them anyway.
in plain english.
loudly.

i've had to really listen......
actively listen.
until my ears bleed.

but i'm still listening.

and i'm probably not going to ask any more questions.
well.....
i'll be sure to find the bandaids first at least.
