Was I wrong to go with them? Nahh. I was on the bridge, but I didn't chose which way to go. I didn't chose to stay back and I didn't chose to fully take part in their adventure. I think for my entire life I have never really been on either side of "the bridge." I guess you could say I'm on my own bridge which is determined my own personal morals, not anyone else's or society's. So for this situation, I suppose I went the wrong way according to "the bridge" but I think I was happily sipping tea on my "bridge."

"ALL THE COOL KIDS ARE DOING IT"
This one time, at band camp, my friends and I were sitting around the campfire singing our c-a-m-p-f-i-r-e campfire song. Within about a half hour, a couple of my friends decided they wanted to leave for a little bit. We weren't allowed to leave, but they were determined to. They told me to come with them because they were going to do illegal things. There was an ongoing bicker of "come on!""Meh, go without me." for about 15 minutes. Finally I decided I would just go with them because we would be back before anyone really noticed we left. So we started our trek into the woods, but I did not take part in the recreational use of illegal substances. Instead, I looked at the stars and talked to Orion until they were done.

Literally
Being literal means to be completely factual. Something that is literal is not an exaggeration. People always use "literally" when they speak, but not correctly. For example, people often say "I'm literally going to kill myself." That's not true. They won't actually kill themselves. They just exaggerate their stress/sadness for dramatic effect. Using the word "literally" in such context means that it is not metaphorical or figurative, but completely accurate. If they were actually being literal, then they would kill themselves in the near future. Pretty much, people who say "literally" when they don't actual mean it are liars.

Swing
This is a picture I took over the summer of a swing in a park near my house.
