Adult Quote by Anonymous
“An age where you feel like you could love anyone, where you put everything on the line for the smallest things. Eighteen. Adults say that its an age where we laugh if a leaf tumbles by. But back then, we were more serious than any adult, more intense, and had our strength tested.”
