I've never felt the need to lose control*

You know it's true, I haven't ever felt the need to lose control. A while back some co-workers and I were out for breakfast and the topic turned to high school and how everyone 'tested' their parents. Drinking underage, staying out really late, you know the usual kind of things young people tend to do. But I had nothing to contribute to the conversation. I haven't ever broken curfew (probably because I didn't really have one). I've never been drunk (or really consumed much alcohol). All things considered, I was a pretty good kid (I think anyways).

So anyways, it got me thinking lately after hearing those lyrics. I just never felt the need to do any of those things. Which makes me wonder why. Is it a good thing? Maybe I just need to let go a little. Or maybe it's just that I could've drank at home if I'd wanted to. And I didn't have a curfew per se. I guess I never felt the need to lose control because no one was trying to control me or my actions (as long as I was within reason).

And as we all know, I do tend to be quite logical and reasonable.
