I grew up too fast in the 80’s and 90’s which actually stunted my growth. As a child I was shorter than the horizon, never able to look.
As a teenager I put my head in the sand to stay young and boast, to keep my head below the horizon and rarely opened a book.
As a younger man I peaked at the horizon but had to leave the coast. The longer I stayed away from sunsets the more reading took.
As an older guy I’m above the horizon but still I see land the most, instead of seeing the sunset because I look at the book I took.
