UPSWING

Champagne.

My mother told me:
"Don't fall in love when you're in college,
their all drunken idiots."
-
Were the drunken idiots
of our 20's,
we get drunk off of the bitter sweet
taste of freedom,
and the idea of becoming our own person.
Away, with pressure from parents,
away with rules and curfews,
we are ourselves.
We belong to us.
At last,
forming our own opinions without expectations we have to live up to.
Cheers!
Raise another glass of intellectual rebellion,
toast to your past self,
and drink to the future.
Getting drunk off of freedom,
and high off of finally living
my own life.
Finally, getting my own choice of liquid courage
for choosing my own path.
Finally, getting champagne with every "congratulations!"
Finally, we're the drunken idiots from blurry memories and self discovery.
Finally,
Finally,
At last.
