Lessons We Are Meant To Teach At Some Point

Were we naive or were we smart?
Were we overprotective or just safe?
Were we in love or horny?
 
These questions are asked by the “grown ups”,
 the “hags”, 
the “just-out-to-ruin-your-lives”, 
the people who cared the most for us. 

The people who don’t want us making the same mistakes they did.
