[ WP ] Two people discover a fountain of youth . The problem is that upon drinking the water you turn back into an infant . The two decide to take turns raising each other in order to live forever until one day one of them decides to break this agreement .

The problem with personality is that so much of it depends on what happened during your life. There are certain things that change you for better or worse. 
 
 I wish I could say that all the accumulated knowledge, wisdom and memories stay but each time we start again, it's like a reset on most things. Thomas was having another party according to his Facebook update. I remember the last time I was invited to one, he gave me a list of things to bring and I did, except no one else was there. He gave me the location of a lifeguard tower at the beach that they were at, except it did n't actually exist. 
 
 I have a flask tucked into my jacket pocket on the chair with the potion that will set my plan into motion if I decide to try again. I'm still not sure if this is what I want to do, raising him again and starting over is an impossibility because he might not even be healthy enough to raise me so that I have a chance of repeating our plans again. The thing is, I'm still not sure about how I feel about not letting him know about his genetic predisposition for heart failure this time. 
 
 I decided a few tries ago that this had too much of a negative impact whenever I told him, no matter how old he was when I did. Too many times I witnessed him going down the wrong path with drugs because of this. He's in college and happy now, not a care in the world. He has a slight idea of our plan this time even though he suspects it's just a story I used to tell to help him cope with being abandoned by his real parents. 
 
 I've thought about this and if I really wanted to, I could just let him live normally. I could let him find out on his own. I know he's smart and might even figure something out. Medicine has advanced tremendously since we started. Personally, I feel like I've had enough of this life business but I'm not sure if I should make this choice for him. 
 
 Maybe I was wrong and I ca n't reverse engineer what my friend used to be. He looks at me as a father figure and I guess that's understandable, I'm old enough to be his grandfather by now. 
 
 So I decide to do what my heart tells me is right. I take the flask that I asked my lawyer to mail to me and pour it into my bedpan until the very last drop is gone.
