I am from teaching karate.
I am from gas station sushi.
I am from respect is earned.
I am from the woods at night.
I am from shouting and shoving.
I am from drinking 7 gatorades in an hour.
I am from talking with friends for hours on end.
I am from playing guitar until my skin starts peeling.
I am from making friends that live in different countries.
I am from researching blood compatibility instead of homework.
I am from turning up music so loud I can't hear my own thoughts.
I am from eating alone in my room on call with friends instead of family.
