25/ My Teenage Friends
I was blessed with a wonderful group of friends to go through my teens with. We all smoked, and many drank, but there was still an innocence compared to today. We had our own vocabulary. "Down front" was the storefront sidewalk where we mostly hung out. We had parties, music, banter, nicknames, and a solid sense of community. I loved the boys who were my boyfriends, and I loved the ones who weren't even more.

"I loved the ones who weren't even more." Perfect!
ReplyDeleteAlso, is that photo of you as a teenager? How sophisticated!
Nope. I was the photographer. But we all looked fairly sophisticated. I'll find one of me to add.
DeleteDone. I added my prom pic.
DeleteI'm going to stop reading your posts and just wait for the movie.
ReplyDeleteLaughing at Sabine's comment. But seriously, maybe you should consider writing a film script--you certainly have lots of source material.
ReplyDeleteI refer you to Sabine's post about K. It's unfortunate how many opportunities I turned down or ignored earlier in life because of a lack of confidence. The self-doubt persists today.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet it's your confidence that shines through here. I think Sabine and Helen are on to something.
ReplyDeleteI loved the first five sentences of this post, and I loved the sentence even more.
ReplyDeleteI loved this post.
