21

21. 

Am I really 21!? 

Wow. I'm still processing if I'm really 21. Life moves pretty quickly, huh? I always call myself a late bloomer. Being this age right now, it doesn't feel right. Growing up sucks sometimes. More stress, more worries, but with more memories. Memories. That doesn't suck at all when it comes to growing up. It doesn’t mean you have to throw away your childhood memories, you're just making new ones. I get to grow wiser and smarter. Growing up doesn’t mean growing old, it means moving forward on what you're going to be and how you're going to do it by being you. 

I've been through a lot the last 21 years of my life. I came home today after school and I broke down. I'm like that. I tend to be dramatic sometimes. It was my birthday with a full schedule of things to do without celebrating my birthday plus my sister's blog post made me cry. Then, I realized, I made this choice to pick myself up and finish what I have to do for my future. Even though growing up scares me, I'll never stop what I want for my life because complaining in my head will never get me anywhere. 

Since it's my birthday, I want you guys to read 21 facts about me.

"Once in a while, when it's good, it'll feel like it should. And they're all still around and you're still safe and sound. And you don't miss a thing 'til you cry when you're driving away in the dark. Singing, "Stop this train. I wanna get off and go home again. I can't take this speed it's moving in. I know I can't, 'cause now I see. I'll never stop this train." - John Mayer
