I must have still been floating behind the background noise of space when this came out. We were all more lighthearted then, I think. I like it. And then there were periods where the exact opposite was true, where we'd go off on novel-esk rants, argue a point down to its bear bones, make the case for FREEDOM.. lol good times. I miss those days, like I was much more impassioned then. I've certainly mellowed out more, which has been good in many ways, makes like much easier, calmer, clearer, but also I feel like I'm.. mm, I don't wanna say jaded, but I'm definitely different. I don't feel any less able to argue a point, or less desire to argue when the opportunity presents itself, but I guess I don't care so much about the result of the argument. Before I think I legitimately cared that people had unexamined views and views held for dumb reasons, whereas now.. it's like whatever, haha, if you wanna be dumb you can be dumb. And also there's a lot more opportunity to surround myself with people who use their brains as an adult than I had as a kid in high school. haha But man, those were wild times lol
