December 3, 2015

It's the first week of December. My birthday is later this month which means I'll be legal, finally. Since the beginning of the year I've stressed myself out more than I needed too. I've learned one way of dealing with it: by cutting those that bring me down out of my life. If I feel you aren't bringing me any sort of happiness and I can control whether you stay in my life or not, I will end our friendship. It could be all of a sudden or I can be straightforward about it. Either way, my ultimate goal this year is to stay as happy as possible. I don't want to deal with basic high school nonsense because let's face it, we're seniors, we're all either 18 or going on 18. If you haven't grown up by now, there must be a reason. In the past six months, my life has flip flopped around more than anything, more than I would've ever expected. Besides being happy, all I really need is normal. Too much to ask for?

  1. I've noticed that growing up means something different to a lot of people. Some assume that when they turn 18 that they will all of sudden become mature and others who have been mature for a while hope that once their 18, other people will start to see them that way. I've been 18 for...well december 18 will have made this 2 months and my experience so far is that I can basically sign my own permission slips, of course there are other things too but essentially, being 18 is a milestone but not exactly the most life changing thing. It opens doors, but at the same time, you're mostly just walking through the same ones you went in and out of before. I liked this sentiment a lot because it reminds me of how hyped I was before my 18th birthday.
