It


I was born with it.

At age 10, I didn't know what it even was.

At age 20, I was on a quest to search for it.

At age 30, I had it but didn't know it.

At age 40, I was too busy to be worried about it.

At age 50, I began to wonder if I still had it.

At age 60, I realized there was more to life besides it.

At age 70, I started to reminisce about it.

At age 80, I could care less about it.

At age 90, I completely lost it.

At age 100, I forgot what it even was.

At death, I couldn't take it with me.

What is it?
