Do you ever think about the way the world has shifted since your youth? I think of the things I miss, like the freedom children had because there was safety found in communities… Well, relative safety. I think about the shortage of cowboys, real men, the kind of men that held a door open for a girl. People used to respect elders and use words like “please,” and “thank you,” because that’s how we were raised, and words like that made things… nicer.

The world has changed. It moves fast. Too fast.
