Necessary, but scary

I once was a teenager, and I had a secret life.

I would sneak out at night, meet up with friends and boys. I’d drink, smoke cigarettes and pot, have sex, sleep on the beach (never again, way too cold), and generally think I was pretty cool and wild.

This was the 90s after all.
