...though I thought I knew it all back then.

but was determined in a rather sperm spur of the moment fashion.

Two. One to change it, and the other to hold the penis. LADDER. I MEANT LADDER!

Talk to my 14 yo grandson about it, and share other life-determining decisions that were made by teens. I just did that yesterday, when I told him to ask his uncle how it worked to take time off school before attending college.

And move on, dealing with the crap I dealt myself.

make any better decisions than our teenaged selves anyway.

You've always had that ability. Few people seem to know it.

1. The Road Not Taken


Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

All we have is today and maybe tomorrow.

A bit difficult to be a teen heart-throb when you're 56

A lot of other things are easier, albeit with dedicated work.

All the best to you, my EDM-loving friend !

That guy made some terrible decisions.

"Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you."

Pisses me off that I didn't assert myself, but I was taught to be a doormat, not an independent person.
