I was far from innocent in my late teens.

I was simple; if simplicity could be called innocence. I was innocent throughout my early and late teens.

Not exactly. My girlfriend and I weren't having sex, but I still felt a little guilty. She, however, was having sex behind my back and felt really guilty.

I'm always innocent

No... I was too busy surviving environments that wanted me dead.

Purer in mind, which was more clear, than nowadays, which has a fogginess, which is like the blur of so many things I find interesting.

Good question. Despite the abuse et al. I think that I was indeed a bit more simpel than innocent. Children who've had trauma don't necessary grow up any faster. Moreover, I was sexual active in sorts but didn't actively pursue it. I think that teens develop more a world of their own at times.

I suppose. But I was getting married & in Basic Training in the Army when I was 19.
So I'll let you decide if you think I was or not.

I think more naive about how things were going to go than innocent.

Yes

No.
