Day 21, Wednesday. Twenty-one: photos, memories or stories from this year of your life (if you’re not yet 21, choose another age)

I remember what I did when I was 21,

Living alone was a lot of fun,

One of the best years of my life,

A newlywed then a new wife,

A husband that served in the Army,

Moved me away to Hawaii,

I didn't have to work so it was fun,

Laying around soaking up the sun,

Made great friends that I remember,

Warm all year round even December,

Not many kids my age I guess,

Can say they did the same without duress,

I was the girl that did what she wanted,

Left home and family, all alone, undaunted,

To get on with my life away from parents,

Where I could be me so transparent,

I did my thing while I was there

And lived my life without a care,

Smoking weed and partying all night,

Made life seem like it was alright,

It was the way of life that I loved the most,

Hawaii is captivating I was engrossed,

I tried my hand a little at drinking,

I did some things without thinking,

Drinking never took to me,

Nor I to it I preferred the weed,

It was a great time to be had, 

I miss it now just a tad.

I think I just miss my youth,

And there you have it just the truth.
