So I've decided that this Autumn (which started yesterday, yessssss) I will enjoy myself. I havn't had a good Autumn in a few years. I know that sounds strange but it makes sense to me. I love the leaves... it's so cliche but it's true. It reminds me of better times when there was no high school stress, pressing decisions to make and emotional complications.
I realize that when I say things like that I sound like a godforsaken angsty know it all teenager, but I'm telling the truth. Just because 'better times' doesn't mean 40 years ago doesn't mean it is any less meaningful. I do miss the carelessness and actions free of consequences. I miss being able to smile at your crush in the hall without the sexual innuendos attached. When it was all innocent and in the name of love- not just for the sake of hook ups.
In elementary school, there used to be a game we played called 'Kissy Girl' which, as you may have guessed, is exactly what it sounds like. Girls would go around trying to kiss boys at every turn- quite a feat. My grade 4 crush, who will be called John (for lack of a more creative name coming to mind), played the game too. That's when I had my first kiss. It was sweet and short and so elementary school-ish.
I'd like to see the kids at my high school go around playing a universal game of Kissy Girl.
