i think about 8 CONSTANTLY i think it is a second gen thing to some extent because god i love my country and i love my state and i love my town ... also 1 is something i have never been able to put into words but it is perfect

you’re right the feeling might be a second gen thing but everyone just works so hard.. is so committed to their success and success has such a huge huge definition here

have also been thinking A LOT about #1 and #2 … the difference between an older teen and a young adult is so large yet they’re only separated by what, a year or so? and totally agree with the fact that conversations are just another skill that u get better w as u practice (same w writing too which ties in w #10!!)
