“Those two month long summer vacations where you get to do whatever you want, guilt free, no responsibilities, to the point where you don’t even know what day it is anymore.”

“The sheer excitement we got out of mundane things. When I was younger I remember getting pumped about the fact that mom was going to make some homemade play-doh so I had a new awesome toy that day. Or going on a road trip in the summer cause that meant we got to have Mcdonalds.”

“The texture of life. Everything had a feeling attached to it, a distinct emotion: the trees, the sunshine, a football, or a piece of grass. Morning felt like morning, night felt like night, etc. Everything just feels the same to me now, like a dull piece of polished wood.”

“Having like 50 friends that always wanted to hangout. Now everyone just wants to get high or drunk (not that there’s anything wrong with that, it’s just not for me) all the time. I just want to have friends who want to play ocarina of time all night again. Damn.”

“Being able to push someone into a pool or a lake without worrying about the cellphone in their pocket.”
