You are a refreshing young man. I do like your value of reflection. When I was in High School, I always took time to reflect on things.

I was sort of an artistic type - so observing Nature, and people, came natural to me.

I recall I changed a lot from age 18 to 19. I hadn't dated much in H.S. - partly because I did not want to place myself in harms way by riding around a lot in other people's cars. Which was a wise choice. Hope you continue to make wise choices - and please do be careful driving out in California.

I remember seeing people doing cocaine right in their car as they were driving ! So .. always be on the Lookout !

Very glad you're appreciating yr life. And I think you're right - nothing wrong with still being a kid
