Description:	The best years of your life. The raging hormones. You know.. your teen years. I got thinking about this the other day (I get to thinking a lot), reminded in a lovely brief moment what it felt like. I was driving home from a 3 am 7-11 run (out of smokes), windows down, music loud (no kids in the car). And that nostalgia crept up on me. THAT anything-is-possible, everything-is-exciting feeling I had (and you all did too) when I lived in those awesome years. Was is the hormones that did it to us? I wish I could get injected with them now! It's like the song currently on my profile, the silly Kid Rock song I wish I didn't like, but I do.. he says that they all thought the summer would last forever. Remember feeling that? And the days... they lasted forever too. There was a lot of anticipation in those days, at least for me. I was always looking forward to or wishing for something. And the friends we had, we would be friends FOREVER! And when you fell "in love"... man... that was FOREVER too. It was the first taste of freedom, walking the malls with your people (oh the HAIR), going on double dates, dances, all that stuff. We were DRUNK with that freedom. We were INVINCIBLE. No wonder so many people look at those years as "the glory days". All of the freedom, none of the responsiblity. Your room and board was taken care of. Your job was to go to school, work (optional, and usually fun), and hang out with your friends. That was it. And remember the kissing? Think WAAAAY back, back when you were still a virgin. Was there anything more exciting than kissing? Holding hands, does he like me, is he going to call, which one to pick, etc. Driving around with your friends, windows down, happiness in the breeze. CAREFREE. I think that a lot of people still chase that. It's like heroin (not that I have ever done it, but I have read books and seen movies). You have that shot of heroin and it's the best thing in the world. And for a while after, it still is. Then it isn't. Then it sucks. But you keep chasing after it, hoping to feel again what you once felt before. But at some point it ends. For some, it is gradual and slow. Others, like myself, the end of that magic happens suddenly. I remember the date that I left that train... June 8th, 1994. Some people try to go back. You can't go back. There are new things to do. Responsiblities. The real world. Real problems. Real joys. But it would be fun to take a vacation back to that place. Back to where nothing made sense but you pretended to understand. Back to where everything was new and shiny, where the possibilties were endless.
