Reflection on youth from "summary" of Just Kids by Patti Smith
In the quiet moments, I find myself drifting back to the days of my youth, when everything seemed possible and the world was filled with endless opportunities. The streets of New York were my playground, and every corner held the promise of something new and exciting. It was a time of innocence and discovery, when the future was a vast expanse of unknown possibilities waiting to be explored. I remember the hunger for life that burned within me, driving me to seek out new experiences and push the boundaries of my own limitations. The city was alive with the energy of youth, and I was swept up in its currents, carried along by the tide of creativity and freedom that flowed through its streets. But youth is a fleeting thing, a fragile flame that burns brightly for a moment before flickering out in the face of time and change. As I look back on those days now, I am filled with a sense of longing for the innocence and passion of my youth, a time when the world was full of promise and potential. In those days, I was fearless and bold, unafraid to take risks and chase after my dreams with single-minded determination. I was driven by a hunger for experience, a thirst for knowledge that could never be quenched. Every moment was a chance to learn something new, to grow and evolve in ways I could never have imagined. But time has a way of changing things, of shaping us into something new and different than we were before. As the years have passed, I have felt the weight of time pressing down on me, pushing me further and further from the carefree days of my youth. And yet, in those moments of reflection, I am reminded of the person I once was, the girl who believed in the power of her own dreams and the endless possibilities of the world around her. In the quiet moments, I find myself drifting back to the days of my youth, when everything seemed possible and the world was filled with endless opportunities. The streets of New York were my playground, and every corner held the promise of something new and exciting. It was a time of innocence and discovery, when the future was a vast expanse of unknown possibilities waiting to be explored.
