But honestly? It sounds like youth, driving at night, eating what you want, staying up all night not cause you have insomnia but because you were having fun. It’s a beautiful time in your life and you never forget it but it doesn’t mean the brakes are on, you can still do those things. A quote from a movie I’ll never forget is, “you got one life to live, you can make it chicken salad? Or chicken sh_t”. So still, this was a beautiful read. I too, remember similar times believe it or not.
