"old me" would have punched holes in my mask and wrote "masks are gay".

The "new me in this New World Order" knows he will get in an altercation and avoids doing this out of "Old Common Sense", and that really did signal the end of the innocence of "immature me" and signalled the fact that we don't live in a "little baby country" anymore.

They all being forced to grow up too quickly, now, and that breaks my heart.
