I’ve been through so much this past year. Everyone has. We’ve met new people, discovered new things, made new plans. It’s gotten harder an harder to get used to the idea that some day, I might have to grow up. I never realized that day had come so close, and now it quickly approaches, but the thing is, although this idea is somewhat daunting, it no longer seems unfathomable. I can imagine a world where I am responsible, on my own, different. In this world, I’m not sad or alone, or all the things I figured I’d be. I’m okay. Turns out all of these things I’ve been through, things I’m still going through; they’ve prepared me to adapt. They’ve prepared me to be strong when all I want to do is cry. They’ve taught me how to look past people that are ugly, mean, and spiteful, and cling to people who make me believe I deserve more than I really do. Although this new world is quickly approaching, I feel that I am ready and capable. I guess all I have to do now is wait and hope I’m right.
