(No longer) Superman

In my younger years, I was always a bundle of energy. Stayed up all night on consecutive nights rather easily. Little could stop me. I felt invincible. These days, I find myself somehow surviving with 5 hours of sleep nightly and needing a quick nap at some point in the day to make it through. Still, I thrive.

I've always been eager to please. Always hungry. Taking each and every opportunity to complete tasks as they come. That's always been one of the things that defined me as a person. That will never change. I'm afraid though that my level of energy can no longer keep up with that hunger and it frightens me.

I should come to accept and realize that I can no longer do the things that I normally do because physically, I can't keep up. Most of my peers are at least 8 years my junior. It's tough to keep up. But I'm stubborn and I refuse to accept that my limitations.

It's not to say that I have no energy. I still have a good amount left. The wheels keep turning but they're running out of steam. However, much like my main camera, I'm a work horse and I'll keep running until I run out of energy.

So, as I'm still running, I say, bring it on.
