Simply because one is older than yourself, does not mean they are wiser. To believe that the young are all childish fools, with no heart and no grasp of the world around them. Is simply absurd, I have seen eighteen years. But in my eyes it feels as if those years have been thousands. In youth there are thousands of years; when you are old you think of the days of yore yes. But when you are young, you have the fire in your heart to explore, to learn, to grow. In my thousand years, I have been broken, held, reminded that life is precious; but also can be our worst enemy. In youth most don't think of the future, because they have thousands of years until they reach that point. I can only imagine what my future will be. For I am stuck in the past, with my Father's whisper in my ear. I had a thousand years, but he did not. In his case it merely seemed as if he had twenty left, I still hear my laughter in the wind; in the days of my childhood. I would dance and spin in front of him without a care in all of Arda. I would climb the trees outside of town and feel as if I was the most important.
I have been here a thousand years, but my Elders have only been here for twenty, no one seems to comprehend what I have experienced. There is none precisely like myself, but why would they wish to be me? I am but a small thing in a wide, wide, but weary world. With a creator who stands silent. But I will continue to live these thousands of years and see where they lead me to.
