Growing
Up
It’s not something
that we want to do, but let’s face it.
We have to do it. The thought of growing up
is scary. It's hard
to believe that I'm the same person I was 10
years ago. As a little kid, I always wanted
to be older. I don’t really remember
why. Maybe it was because I wanted to be able to stay up
until midnight or watch those PG-13 movies or go on dates with a boy
of my dreams. I watch the little
girls across the street ride their bicycles up and down the
sidewalk, and I think of myself. I remember how the days
seemed so long and how summer seemed to last forever. I
remember playing with my Barbie dolls and
dressing up on Easter Sunday in a beautiful dress and a
bonnet. Those days seemed so easy. I felt like I had
the world figured out.
Now, I realize that I don’t have a clue who I am or
what my purpose in life is. But as I grow up, I will
figure that out. Everyone always says that they wish they
could go back in time and be a kid again. As
funny as it sounds, I don’t. Going
back in time would mean loosing everything
that I worked so hard for. I would have to start
over. All those tears I cried,
nights studying my butt off for a test the next day, and
all the lessons I learned,
would be gone. As we grow up, things are going to get
harder.
But I think
I’m ready for that
