You get to a certain point in your life where you get closer to the end of your life than the beginning, and it colors your life, in a way.

Life Beginning Colors End You Way

You meet a lot of people and have a lot of experiences, and they color you and stay with you - but I'm not the grieving widow. Life is much more complicated and interesting and full of zigs and zags than that.
