I just wanted to say that I like reading your posts, even when I forget to comment (or just plain don't have time). It makes me remember that, not so long ago, I was sixteen and knew things. It's a bad thing, this current trend of looking down on those younger because they feel things more expressively (I won't say deeply, because I'm not sure it's true). I can't say I miss sixteen, exactly, because I find twenty three to be generally superior, but I was there, and it was good, and it is good to see someone who can remind me of the particular good of sixteen, which I shall never have again (and perhaps I can remind someone else of the particular good of twenty three).
