Souls.

They say some people have old souls. 

Some people are forever young and lighthearted. 

I have an old soul that is forever at war with my young heart. 

I know the consequences of choices. I see how things will turn out. I understand that life keeps moving. 

I have perspective. 

I like to take chances. I like to have fun and do crazy things. Sometimes I know when I'm making a mistake and I make it anyway. 

My old soul tells me not to do things, and my young heart reminds me that I only have the excuse of young and dumb for so long. 

I mean, I've never done anything terribly stupid. 

Yet.
