I am officially 19 years of age as of 2 minutes ago. How sublimely symbolic--a new year, a new slate, a new start, my first year beginning in a new town, a new experience, a new chance to grow into who I'm supposed to be.
Today, I had one of those moments. You know, the moments when a lightbulb comes on up there, a revelation hits you hard and your eyes pop so wide open you think they might fall out of your head. Maybe this realization could be more accurately described as a fluorescent lightbulb. Slow to come on but when it is on, you can tell the difference in the way you view the room.
I felt so old coming up to this day, but then, today, and in smaller moments I realize that with everything I know, with everything I've learned about life, I really have a long long way to go before I figure everything out.
I know that this summer will help me in developing into the adult that I'm becoming, and I can't wait to begin :)
