Meeting my best friend whose first identity was my neighbor 

A (friendly) doggo on every corner full of excitement and perhaps joining you on your walk

Feeling so confident that you know how to drive by age 13 

The school, YMCA, and grocery store all down one street and up a left or down to the right 

Friendly hellos and sweet compliments from fellow town members 

The only thing brighter than street lights are the stars on a clear dark night 

The smell of a wood stove or campfire burnin in the summer night air 

The dirt roads behind the town roughed by ***** ole trucks and four-wheelers 

It's not paradise but it's home to the heart
