The 1960s framed my teenage years, adding cultural chaos to that of my adolescence. We've all been there to some extent. This is my story. Share yours in the comments if you want.
"...the boys behind me shouting for me to slow down, which I will never do for any of them." A beautiful resolve that got tweaked just a little in adolescence. As is natural. The second piece is so breath-taking, so powerful, I wouldn't know where to begin commenting. I am keeping this one to learn from, Sue. ( BTW: "Someday they will lead me to lay in grass.." Change to: lead me to lie?)
Sorry. I am a retired English teacher who just can't seem to retire. Lie and Lay are very tricky. I myself have trouble with the placement of just and only, and ALL punctuation... urgh.

Thank you for your kind words AND I appreciate the grammar correction.

And yet you still prevail as a damned good writer. ;)
ha ha ha. Okay, then!
Still Wow!
Thanks, Joe. Adolescence is an amazing time. I wonder how so many of us survive it.
Just, Wow!
Thanks, Joe.
