My Body is Getting Older
Dude, one can never truly understand body aging until they actually start to get older. To many talented performers, I am still young and have much to learn and experience. To another half, I am at the “wow, you don’t look 28 age.”
My age may not show in my face, but it definitely shows in my body. I can’t bounce back from things the way I used to.
Acid reflux is a huge change in my well-being. I can’t drink or eat the same. I have to time out everything I eat in order to stay healthy. If I decide to get drunk, it upsets my stomach so much that the acid causes nasal drip, and I get freakin laryngitis. It is so frustrating. I have been amazingly patient as my body has become more choosy about how I treat it. … but it can be so difficult. I want to enjoy life the way I want to enjoy life.
I want to eat late and pass out while hanging out with my friends. I want to have a caffeinated drink, dance the night away, and not wake up with a scratchy voice and torn - up body.
Back in the day, I could mistreat my body in so many ways and I would be just fine. I may feel crappy the following day, but I could get over with greasy food or a little cardio workout. My body is just not the same anymore. It is completely depressing.
I know, I know, it is a part of life, but if you are going through the same thing, you will totally understand. It may be a part of aging, but I still don’t like it. I miss the old days of irresponsibility.

Why anyone would “decide” to get drunk is way beyond me…
