charles lost all his hair

sometimes you suddenly leave a life behind and go away for a long time. a long enough time that the new place becomes your new norm. and when you get the chance, you visit the old people and places from before and you find that things have changed drastically . some ppl have lost their hair and local joints have been torn down. but in your mind these new things aren't ever real and your memory adamantly decides to reject them. and so after you leave your little visit behind and think about that life you left behind many years ago it's like nothing has changed except you. no one in the town became bald and bravo pizza is still 10 mins away. no one's died and everyone else is still 18 while you are almost 30. and you picture their lives going on from day to day and they're 18 forever.
