Do you ever stumble on a picture that gives you pause and makes you think about some of the good in life? I stumbled on this picture on my phone taken in August 2012 and a few moments later, I discovered that it brought a lot of emotions to the surface for me.
The best stories of my Youth usually include one of these two in some way or another. They were a huggggge, ginormous part of my life- and I love finding a happy picture that commemorates that.
Because honestly: The joy in breaking your Parents' rules, kissing boys at Camp, using a roasted chicken skeleton in your TP'ing efforts, taking your first sip of alcohol, passing note through class, gallivanting with Sailors, eating as many Marshmallows as you can stuff in your mouth, creating fake movies that you film in your Garage, celebrating your Driver's License with a trip to McDonald's at 9 AM, sneaking out of the house and heading to the beach at 3 AM, subsequently getting Grounded simultaneously by your Parents, etc. etc. etc. etc.- is a dish best served with the best of friends.
Here's to the ones who shaped your past- there will always be a part of them that carries forward to the future ♥
