The 2010's

It's April and I turn 19 in two weeks. Ten years ago around this time, I was moving thirty minutes closer to the land of my origin. If I could describe the proverbial 'dash' between those two dates it would definitely be "dang, that was fun". My love and I talk often about how we will never get our childhood, adolescence and youth back. The perception that we have during that time is that there are two parts of life; when you're young and when you're old. We did not realize was how short the former is. I am an adult from here on out. I have to get a job or something to. I have to be the one doing taxes and picking people up from school and setting up doctor's appointments. I'm ready for it, and I am not under the believe that my most enjoyable years are behind me. But, this past decade was able to show me so many things and allow me to be so many things and give me so many things that I doubt any decade will stack up to the anti-uniformity of the 2010's for lack of a better term. I feel like my 20's, 30's, etc. will just run together a lot more than my teens. The difference in a 15 year old me and a 18 year old me, I imagine, is more stark that the difference between a 35 year old me and a 38 year old me. Maybe I'm wrong about that. I probably am. But these 2010's were so fun that I can't help but look back on them and look at things analytically and with a slightly more mature mind. This is what these lists are for.
