Love this piece, Luis. Has a universal flavor of youth. Or young-ish. I could Certainly relate. Beautifully constructed, sir!

I don't think we knew tired back then. We felt it...but now it's something else. 😆

This was a nice read, made me rather nostalgic.

I was thinking about that, how me and my friends could be up for like 48 hours—it's unthinkable to me today (it's probably to be explained by the substances we did back then 😂).

Glad you like it Deb! <3

Love this, Munaretti, especially the ending. Cracking two blondes open has a few meanings. 🤣

Hahah 😂 let's go with the metaphorical meaning here and leave the other one for another occasion. Thanks Santos!

Between the image and vibe of the poem I feel like you invited the spirit of Jem and the Holograms to your prose and I’m here for it. Rock on!🤘

Thank you Ryan. I didn't know Jem and the Holograms, but I'm glad you found something to connect this with.

Cool, this already sounds insanely cool just like the Indie kid. If only you could find your 19 again, Luisa.

I really had a beautiful time reading this. The poetry is always so soft, warm and absolutely relatable.
