Carefree days, careless laughter, roguish grin, the wicket twinkle in the eye, those were the default features I used to wear. Taking pride in being lame, bringing laughter everywhere i go, that's what i was known for.

Now, it has been over 2 years since i've sat with friends, reeling off joke after joke. In fact, the cheeky, mischievous guy has almost disappeared. He has now been replaced with one much too serious, brow constantly scrunched up in a frown, with a smile that mirrors an eclipse. Rarely occurs, and when it does, it doesn't last long.

I hear someone mentioned that i've changed a lot, he then said, 'it seems like Jonathan is maturing'.

If this is what growing up is all about, I rather stay a kid.
