Turning 18

Legally an adult? I think YES.

16. 17. 18.

I knew that one day wouldn't make me feel any different. What makes me feel different is looking back on this past year and how much I have changed as a person. So much has changed in my life in the past year and I do not regret any of it. I don't think there's anything I would go back and change if I could. I know that's crazy considering a great deal of hell went on this past year but in the end I think its contributed to the person I am today. Those experiences have made me stronger and a great deal wiser; both in life and in love. If something so radical and painful hadn't have happened I would be back where I was a year ago. A not so helpless girl trapped in a helpless life. That is so not me! I accomplished so much this past year. I graduated early and started college before I turned 18! I fell in love with an amazing guy who I care about so very much. I moved out and I'm living on my own. I accomplished more in one year then most 17 year olds.

My goals for this year are quite simple:
1. to truly enjoy living life

2. to not take love too seriously and still enjoy the little things
3. to not lose my mind over stupid drama
4. to completely accomplish the long list of things I want to do in college
5. to stay focused and still have fun

I had an amazing birthday!

 

 

 I have hope that this year will be wonderful, more hope then I've had in a long time.
