So…this past week or so I've suffered from some serious writers block. It was pretty bad. And well it took me being in the car by myself, listening to some music and then going through some old high school photos to relieve it.
So here it comes….as my 21st birthday is approaching quite quickly, I was thinking about what I wanted to do by the time I was 21 and to be honest I got quite discouraged. I am such a planner it is quite ridiculous and it gets me into trouble most of the time (my dad makes fun of me ALL THE TIME) I wanted to be close to being finished with college, be in a somewhat steady relationship, maybe have done some traveling…all sorts of fun stuff…and I am no where near any of it. College wise I'm looking at possibly close to 4 more years…relationship wise….well it is a tad complicated…and traveling, I've done some of it but mainly here in California.
So as I was thinking that really our 20s are really hard. We have these plans that we make when we're little and naive and don't quite know what we're getting into and life comes up and slaps us in the face. I think of one of my really close friends that I had in middle school and high school. Her plans for her 20s completely changed when she got pregnant and had her baby boy. (She's now married and happy) but it was just an eye opening experience. Sometimes I think we get so caught up in what our future plans that we forget to realize what we have in front of us. We are exactly where we need to be, and I take comfort in that.
So in your 20s be ridiculous and silly, stupid and wild. Be 20 something!
Enjoy the Kakes here and now, you won't be able to have them again:)
