Remember...

Remember...taking Kool Aid and sugar to make your own candy mix? paging people with msgs like hello and i love you? playing video games, playing outside, doing your home work, watching tv, eating dinner and getting ready for the next day all before going to sleep (where did the time come from)? being in love and knowing that love was the only love you would ever have? $5 dances with all the food you could eat? lunch with your friends with card playing and trash talk to boot? late night phone calls filled with all the important things in life (who wore what, who was with whom, what you would wear and how you would do your hair, etc)? wishing you had ____ (money, a car, etc) in order to be able to do _____ (get a car, go to the mall, etc)? wishing you could change whatever about your body/personality now realizing how it makes you you? singing songs on the bus, at the bus spot, in the halls, in the classroom, at lunch and feeling really in touch with all your friends and classmates? the incident of all incidents that would leave you forever scarred needing to drop in the floor and die? the team/club you wanted to join/didn't have the time to join and saw how much fun they seemed to have? listening to the radio and dancing along in your room/bathroom/basement/yard? chilling with kids from the neighborhood just talking and wondering about life? taking walks through the neighborhood trying to be grown and sexy? looking for the ice cream truck though you rarely bought stuff from it cause they were the drug family as well (was that just my neighborhood?)? playing baseball in the field and getting into arguments over the calls? that song that could make you cry (and still can)?
