Most of us live through the stupid decisions of youth. Somehow I did. But not all make it.
Some of us did it with the help of Guardian Angels, most of whom are still in therapy.
I’m glad to hear I was not the only ‘yut what made some stupid decisions. All this time I thunked I was different.

I survived a preventable bike accident in college at age 19 because I wanted to be a badass in front of my sorority sisters back in 1985. I was in the hospital for 2 days and have a huge scar on my top lip to remind me.
Ah, the “invincibility” of youth. It’s all just a huge myth.
