I Wanna Know
I wanna know what turns you on
So I can be all that and more
I'd like to know what makes you cry
So I can be the one who always makes you smile
"That's such bullshit." my friend K made a face upon hearing the chorus to Joe's "I Wanna Know" "He's going to make her cry sometime."
It was my junior year of high school (I think). K was a senior. I and everyone else knew her as being pretty upbeat and quirky. This bitter revelation was quite unlike her.
Isn't it weird how much a significant other can change your mentality? Even if it's just a high school boyfriend? At the time I was slightly horrified at what her then-boyfriend had done to my normally happy-go-lucky friend. As I got a little older (and wiser, I hope) I realized that maybe it wasn't such a bad thing. What some would call a loss of innocence (usually perceived as a bad thing) should really be called a loss of naivete (more positive connotation).
I don't really remember where I was going with this post. It was much more cohesive in my head. But that was before I got distracted by chips and guacamole (darn you lovely avocados) but I'm pretty sure the post was supposed to wrap up with something like "VV is awesome" <3
When the hell did I become so freaking optimistic?
