Answer:
Five years ago, I was younger. Five years ago, I relied on my parents more. Five years ago, I wasn't aware of all of the threat in the world. The pain. Wars. Segregation. Racism. Anything, really. I was still a little kid, and I thought that everything was going great, and that everything would be just perfect. After five years, though, things have changed. I've matured, I've learned, and I've been through tough situations-- but here I am. A lot can change in a person over five years, and we are the living proof.
How is this?
