There's a saying that goes, "In order to move ahead, you should never look back." And while I agree that bad relationships, leg warmers, and teased hair should stay in its respective past- i also think that trips down memory lane are good ways to assess how far we've come.
I myself look back often at my outrageous antics and tickle myself pink at the thought of my youth and not so innocence. My theory is that when you don't know any better, there's always a first time for everything! So, i believe in making mistakes and can accept a 1st wrong impression. I think there's a time and place for bad fashion sense and puppy love. But, I find the ultimate testament to growing old is finding peace with being young.
When i was 9, i told these neighborhood bullies that Hulk Hogan was my uncle and he was going to kick their ass! Call me creative or call me a crackhead...call me what you will but i bet you can't top that! Or can you? Do tell...
i'm sure i can or not, but you make the call. I fortunately do not need my unlce to beat up the neighborhood kids b/c i'd do myself. Like that one time on Christmas day when that bully highschool kid picked on me making fun of what i was wearing. Well, i took care of him and that would be the last time he picked on a 27 year old.
