So my g nephew is apparently having a first sleep-over soon with a group of buddies.
This took me back to being younger and particularly around the awakening of puberty.
I remember these being an important rite of passage for socialization and development, all about staying awake and watching movies and snacking and then later the fumbling and shared forays into young adulthood with smoking, sneaking a beer and learning about jerking off and determining sexual preference.
So how was it for others?
Life changing? Positive? Negative?
I have a longing to return sometimes to this much more simple and exciting time in my life and to re-visit some of the occasions when I wish I had done much more if I had been bolder.
