why does time freeze at the age of seventeen and instead of resuming you just wake up at 23 wondering how six years passed in one night and when you gave up on all your big dreams the way adults do it’s just what we do we give up and we complain and we’re so good at dancing with disdain but at 17 I had some soul left and something to give I wonder where it went and if simply being alive is all it takes to live?
