Oh, to be a teen again: to crush on, to make out with, to stay up all night and gossip, to try things for the first time, to slam doors, to compare myself to others, to smoke, to fuck around, to look forward to adulting, to think the world is something that it is not, to know everything.
They say youth is wasted on the young. 'They' are right. From the peek of my current age, my adulting years, my not-at-all teen years... my teens feel so far away.

The chutzpah I had as a teen, the careless recklessness - those are long gone, and replaced by fear, guilt, shame. Being an adult is a DRAG. NOBODY actually likes it!
