Growing up...

As I sit here on this random Thursday morning (as I am done school for the year, I have time to just sit, hehe), I am thinking about the things I have to do today. Lots of usual daily things, but tonight I am going out for supper with 3 of my girlfriends, Chelsea, Sarah and Marita. I have known Chelsea and Sarah for about 6 years now, and Marita for about 3. The reason we are going out for supper is we are celebrating something. That something is Marita getting engaged to an awesome guy named Paul (CONGRATS YOU GUYS!!! :D). It feels kind of weird to say that "my friend just got engaged", it doesn't sound like something I should be saying. But I mean I am 20 now, but for some reason I still feel like we are all kids in a way.

I think it is just me realizing how fast time really flies. I mean when you are a little baby your parents take care of you and provide you your needs and as you get older you learn how to do things on your own, like walking around and crawling. With that may come some obstacles, like running into a table (oh no, that never happened to me, hehe). As you continue to get older, you are continuously learning new things, some come easy, others take more effort. Along every step of the way however you have your parents, or someone who cares helping you along the way, helping you get up and telling you to keep trying after you've hit your head on that table and are bawling your eyes out. Throughout life we have people that are there to help pick us up.

When you get into your teenage years, most kids don't want anything to do with their parents and would much rather be a million miles away. But as you get past those tough years, you begin to see your parents in a different light. You see them more as people, and less like parents. You may also begin to see your parent as a friend and someone who you can really feel confident in confiding in. Even when you are 20 or 30, your parents and people who care about you are always there for you, no matter what.

As I sit here, and realize that I have rambled about things for the last 10 minutes, I should really get to my point. My point is, that life is short, and time flies very fast, even if you don't think so, and even if you think that everything is going at a good pace. One day you will wake up and realize that you are 20, 30, 40 or even 50 and you have so many things in life that you want to do. So stop what you are doing, and think about what you want and what you want to in life. I mean it really stop and think, it's okay, I will wait............................................................................................................................................... Okay. Done? Whatever you want to do, just do it. It doesn't matter what others may think, just as long as you are happy and doing things you love to do.

The people who truly love and care about you will always be there for you, and support you every step of the way. Life is short and you should try and live as many moments as you can happy and fullfilled. Never go to sleep angry with someone, especially those that you love the most. Cease the day, and live everyone moment as if it is your last :)
