If one can live forever and one can live for only one day, who will live more?
Dear Diary:
Who would think that I would write in a book? I'm not one of those types who like keeping track of my own thoughts. I mean, I'm one of those types who live for the moment. Unfortunately, the moment is all I got now. So, I'm going to write the moments down while I can.
You see, all my life, I trained to be stronger; that was my life. I grew up like a normal kid, a bit slower than most humans, but like a normal kid. I trained all my life and I became very strong. I even became the strongest warrior in the world after defeating Piccolo.
Anyway, after Raddiz came, my power just sky rocketed. I looked for ways of getting stronger faster for the battle against the Saiyans; Vegita and Nappa. The very world is at stake and it was all because I happen to be on it. I used the Kaiou-ken attack till my body was too sore to even move. I won many battles but I needed more power for Freeza. I finally managed to attain Super Saiyan form and became the strongest warrior in the galaxy but it wasn't enough, I craved for more power.
Many years passed and I trained hard and even surpassed the Super Saiyan form twice. I still hungered for more power. It was like some kind of addiction. The stronger I became, the stronger I wanted to be. I thought I can't be too powerful. I strived to just push my limits more to see how powerful I can be. Unfortunately, it wasn't until recently that I learned the price of my power.
I started feeling dizzy after training under Super Saiyan form three. I didn't tell anyone and figured that I was just wearing myself out. So, I just stuck with Super Saiyan form and the dizziness continued. My bones started aching and my senses dimmed slightly. Of course, no one else noticed. I still looked as healthy as I was when I first came back from the Cell Games.
But, the pains continued and the feelings of weakness followed. My sense of smell had dimmed considerably. Before, I could track someone just by his scent on the ground. Now, I was lucky if I could smell Chi Chi's cooking a mile away. My other senses were starting to become weak as well. I can still see and hear as well as a normal human but to me, it was fading. Finally, I decided to get help. But where can a member of a virtually dead race go to get a check up?
I went to Dr. Briefs for help. He was the top and only expert on the Saiyan body. He examined me, Vegita, and the kids constantly for his records and in case any of us get sick.
He agreed not to tell anyone about this, especially Bulma. She would blab it out to everyone. After a bunch of tests, Dr. Briefs confronted me in private.
It turned out that my body was being worn down by my own power. It's hard to explain how, but Dr. Briefs told me that it was like a race car engine. If the engine overworks, it wears down faster. Not only that, but my constant teleportation and the Kaou-ken attacks also weakened my cell structure over the years.
So, I'm dying. Kinda. Dr. Briefs also told me that if I don't use my super saiyan power and teleportation and slowed down on my training, then I can live for another twenty or even thirty years.
Thirty years, that sounds like a long time but to a Saiyan, that's just a fraction of what I could've lived. According to Vegita, Saiyans have the potential to live from two hundred to three hundred years. Of course, no one knows how long a Saiyan can live since all Saiyans often died in battle, training, or being murdered. And now the other humans will outlive me.
Fortunately, Vegita and the other Saiyan warriors are not affected. Dr. Briefs checked them as well saying it was just a routine physical. All of them are aging slower than me, even Vegita, who was older than me physically, was born with a higher power and was more used to the power he had than I was. He also rarely teleported and never made it to Super Saiyan III. Ironically, it was his weaker power that will ensure that he will live far past me. The demi Saiyans' human DNA enabled them to have a more stable power. They also never learned to teleport and the Kaou-ken attack so they are safe.
I don't know what to do. I can't tell my family about what's happening to me. What can I tell them? Hey, guess what? I only have thirty years or less to live. I don't really care about dying myself. I've been dead before and I don't mind dying again. The real problem is what if after I die, what will happen to Earth? The Earth could be in danger again and it will be up to Vegita and the other warriors. But I have faith in them.
I just realized something. I will age into an old weak man. I guess it's not a bad thing... Chi Chi will finally have a husband to grow old with but... I've seen what old age does. I don't want to be a pervert like Master Roshi. I'm scared of what I will be. But, what can I do? All people grow old and I guess I'll just have to face it.
We all grow old sometime. Even if you are most powerful warrior in the galaxy.

"Goku!!!"
Goku gulped as he closed the journal and hid it under his weighed clothes. He could trust his family but someone might still come across his journal and ask questions. "Yes?"
"Dinner's ready!!!" Chi Chi boomed as she came into the bedroom.
Goku laughed as he put his hand behind his head like he would normally do. "Wow... time passed by so fast!" He stood up and picked up his wife. "So, what's for dinner?"
"Meatloaf, fish, the usual..." Chi Chi replied as she blushed at the sudden attention. "And PUT ME DOWN YOU OVERGROWN MONKEY!!!" She screamed as she banged her fists on Goku's strong forearms.
Goku quickly lowered his wife and kissed her on the cheek. Chi Chi stepped back, blushed brightly, and asked, "What was that for?"
"Just to show how I feel." Goku replied as he walked out of the door.
Chi Chi smiled slightly as he walked away. "Goku's finally growing up."
