Vivid.

As I sit here listening to The Clash, in which I do in spurts. My head is flooded with memories of a time long ago. May of 2006 to be exact. A line of cars pull into an old warehouse parking lot, rented out by a couple of guys in the white van. It was a cool evening, stars shining down upon young kids as they piled out of their vehicles laughing and enjoying the company. Two of the youngest were girls, bright eyed and full of life. The rest of the group was well into their 20's and living the life. Inside this desolate looking warehouse there was so much life. Out of one room came the sounds of Johnny Cash, Billy Idol, The Rolling Stones and The Clash. From another room full of grass peaking out of the cracks stood a few select people discussing god knows what. Probably politics or some bizarre topic that people would rather not listen in on. To the side stood the two young girls, only 15 and 17. They stood alone talking about things such as life and how their parents just didn't understand what was going on in their lives. After awhile a boy came up to them asking them what they were talking about and why they weren't mingling with the rest of the people. The girls giggled and didn't have a response. He grabbed them both a drink and their night started to get a bit more lively from that point. Dancing in the room filled with lovely music. Conversations with people they didn't know. Laughing harder then they ever had over the littlest things. There was this joy shared by everyone that night. They had no one to impress, no one to answer too. They were just being them. Living in the moment. Whatever happened that night, happened. No one thought twice about anything. It was almost as if it were a dream, yet it was all so real.
