Remember when we were young?

Do you remember when we were kids?

When getting high was on a swing set in the park.
When getting stoned meant having little rocks thrown at you.
When the only drug you knew of was cough medicine.
When the only things boys could give you were cooties and the only thing they played was football.
When you would go to school not caring what you looked like.
When the most painful thing in life was scraping your knee.
And the only things that got broken were toys.
When the only race issue was who could run the fastest.
When war was a card game.
When your worst enemies were your brothers and sisters.
When mom and dad were always right and mistakes could be rubbed out.
When you thought your parents were the coolest people alive.
When your future began with 'when I grow up I'm going to be..'
When you only cried when you fell over and falling out with friends meant not talking for a whole 5 mins.
When saying goodbye meant only until tomorrow.

Now we aim to get high, want to get stoned, and be the so called 'coolest' teen who does drugs.
Now the boys would give us their lust and play with our hearts as well.
Now we spend two hours picking out our outfit.
Now we learned that the most painful thing in life is more emotional than physical.
And now the number one thing that gets broken all the time are hearts.
Now we're more shallow as we give into the race issue.
Now we participate in war, which we know it's not a card game.
Now we don't give a damn about our brothers and sisters.
Now we just want our parents to just disappear.
Now we don't know what the hell to do with our future.
Now the one thing we cry over is that one person you love dearly and falling out with friends means never dealing with them again.
Now when we say goodbye, it means forever...

Now that we think about it, being young was the most precious moment of your life.

Now that we look back and compare us now to the person we were back then, gives us a sense of pride and emotional feeling that couldn't compare to anything.

We've lived, learned, and loved.

Being young wasn't about growing up so quickly or learning lifetime skills,

but to have as much fun as possible while you are still a kid.

Most kids want to grow up, but it's because their minds have been reset every resurrection,

that they forget to live their childhood to the fullest.

I think that our existence in this world isn't because we have a purpose.

I think the only reason we exist is because shxt just happens.

There's no purpose or reason for us,

but to live life to its complete fullest, because life is a gift, not a privilege.

So you don't know when it will come to an end...
