The Big 18

It feels kinda weird, my birthday is only days away and it's gonna be my 18th. I'm gonna be an adult. Well, at least on paper. With graduation not to far from when I'm writing this, (it's literally the day before my birthday lol) this chapter of my life will be over with. Good. Okay, well not exactly "Good" good, more like "At least the storm is over" kind of good. This is the age that 13 year old me waited all this time for, the age that 8 year old me saw as a different life ahead, and the age that 12 year old me would be surprised that I made to. Honestly, although it's kind of a big deal, I don't really feel all that different or anything. I've got so much to figure out, so much life left to live, it feels a bit surreal. Kinda ironic how just a few years ago I felt like "my life is gonna end soon" when in reality, it barely has begun in the grand scheme of things. I don't know, to me this feels like a milestone on how much I've grown and changed. (well no shit, that's kinda how it is for everyone, or so I'm told.) Here's to future me and whatever she decides we're gonna do next. For now, I've got graduation to attend and a break to give myself.
