Life

Have you ever sat back and thought about how times have changed? If not think about how when you were little getting high was related to swinging or how about the only drug you knew was cough syrup. What about when the only thing you thought about getting from boys was the cooties and you tried to never touch one. What about when you heard use protection you thought knee pads and helmets and race issues meant who could run the fastest. What about the only broken heart you had was when your parents said no and goodbye meant only till later. Your siblings were your worst enemies and you were excited to wake up and go to school. And you and all your friends couldn't wait to grow up...

Now your on your way there and it is different from how you ever imagined. Best friends one day enemies tomorrow. Soda turns into alcohol. Playgrounds turns into parties. Cooties become real. And now heartbreak comes from more than just parents. You go from swinging to smoking. And teasing no longer leads to tattle-telling but to fights. And you sit back and realize why everyone said to cherish your child hood years...
