[ WP ] '' The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long '' The opposite is true

Occasionally it comes up, my age that is. 244 in August. Usually I feed them some crap about eating healthy, exercising regularly, and a dash of good genetics. I wonder how they would feel if I told them the truth. That I had skated by on the outskirts of life. Never doing anything worth doing or going anywhere worth going. I avoided life and all of its troubles, its hassles, and its wonders like they were the plague. After a while it just felt like life seemed to pass by ever slower until it barely seemed to pass at all. People usually guess that I'm in my 70s and tend to laugh when I tell them the truth. No family, few friends. I have n't even got much in the way of possessions. I'll leave little reminder that I ever lived when I die, which I think is the reason that even death and time have ignored me. Who am I? Nobody.
