Soft In My Old Age

At the ripe age of 26, I find myself growing soft.

Muscle tone is a little bit harder to regain if I choose not to work out for a month, things seem to slide just a bit when I jump on a trampoline and I have to hold back tears over the most trivial of experiences. 

Am I the only one? I feel like lately, things that normally would act as a touching moment have me reaching for a distraction or the fast forward button. The scene in Taken where he makes the birthday scrapbook for his daughter? Lump in my throat. The freaking Google Chrome commercial where the dad and daughter communicate during her freshman year in college? Misty eyes. The other freaking Google Chrome commercial where the dad writes emails to his baby girl every day? Kleenex please. And don't even get me started on the animal shelter commercials. Sarah McLachlan's "Angel" is ruined for me for eternity. I need Xanax to get through all 4 minutes of that commercial.

Yes, I'm still sarcastic, a bit snarky and usually irreverent. I still say things that should probably never progress past a thought that should be kept to myself. But now, I find myself becoming more sensitive and allowing myself to become impacted by emotional experiences. Obviously, I still have to make some wisecrack to distract from the snot bubble forming on the edge of my nose, but inside, I'm all mush.
