How little we knew.

Things always turn out so different than you predict as a child. Remember what it was like dreaming of being 21 and free? Well then you get older and realize that freedom isn’t free. I’m not talking about the brave soldiers which have fought and died for your freedoms (unless you’re reading this from North Korea, then the soldiers fought and died for your lack of freedom… but then if you’re in North Korea you might not have the internet). I’m talking about having a job. When you’re finally out and can “have my own place, drive my own car, buy my own clothes.” you realize that… golly. This stuff is expensive. So then you work twice as many hours as you spent in school and barely have enough money to pay to do anything fun in all your free time.
I once wanted to live off Taco Bueno. I now eat at Taco Bueno at least four times a week. It isn’t as amazing as I thought it would be.
