Wild yes, and it was definitely an experience I'm glad I went through. I still love dancing my heart out to this day, and I'm glad that I was able to experience it. I'm not happy about some the choices my friends and I made, but we were young then. Everyone does stupid stuff when you're younger, in some form.
My mom wasn't stupid, but she was a big hippie so I'm sure she wasn't expecting innocence from me either. She always told me to be responsible, to know my limits, and to have fun. I defnitely had fun, and what's sad is the funerals I had to attend in the last few years where people we knew never stopped "the party". Addictions took over, and I feel sad in that way. I experimented, but that's as far as it went.
I can still go out and listen to that music now and dance just as a hard.
