Come with me, back 20 years to 19 and 94.
First, I have known my bff Abby since God was a boy. In true small town fashion her first cousin married my first cousin, so we like to think that we are now family. Abby is a High School English teacher and probably the funniest living person I know.
Anywho..
Picture it.

There we sit in my bedroom floor, frantically flipping through SEVENTEEN magazine (with Luke Perry on the cover) reading our horoscope and finding out what our lucky numbers would be for that month and taking quizzes to determine if a certain boy we liked-actually liked us too!
Listening to FREE YOUR MIND by EnVogue on repeat.

I absolutely love that this song was our theme song. After carefully listening to the lyrics and with consideration of where we grew up, (Small town Eastern Kentucky) I believe it is the lyrics of this song that made us so culturally diverse. Worldly, even.
To imagine 2 of the most stereo typical white 13 year old girls singing these words into their hair brushes in the middle of Appalachia could easily be a made for TV, after school specials. (That they don't even make anymore.)
Oh the stories.
I will tell them all here and change the names to protect the guilty. Naturally.
