I feel the world was big and crazy in it's own way, just my perception of it was small, simple and lacking in context.
The world wasn't better then. I just didn't know anything beyond what me and friends had planned for the weekend.

@markansas it's all cool, i share your frustrations :) 👍

there is always something crazy and messed up going on in the world. sometimes close to home or far away. But as a kid much of that is out of sight and mind, especially when rice krispie squares are for dessert.
