Come sail away with me...
Turning 22 in 4 days.
When I was younger, I had a very different vision of what 22 would mean to me.
Even when I was 21...I had a much different idea of where my life would be heading this summer. Rewind about 6 months, and I would've told you that there was a possible engagement on my horizon. I was still on course to becoming a high school theatre teacher somewhere in Arizona.
Its strange, but I'm content.
I wouldn't go so far as to say happy.
I haven't been happy in a while.
I can see "happy" in the future though.
Mine looks like...being the first and youngest of 4 kids to graduate from college; becoming completely independent financially; moving to California; finding out what I want...
It never ceases to amaze me.
Certain people will come into your life, and be so refreshingly different.
Maybe its the 16 year old on your pool staff who doesn't quite fit into anyone's box, and always makes you smile.
It could be a new friend that you meet on your summer vacation who makes you feel pretty again, and that you're capable moving on.
Or even someone from your past, who you never quite forgot about...letting you know that they still think of you too from time to time.
I'm making a list.
Its reminiscent of "A Walk To Remember".
The things I want to accomplish in my life.
I'm looking forward to completing the list this summer...and then starting to cross things off.
I'm so glad to be in Jessica's wedding.
Her bridesmaids are so much fun.
"I want to be a robot...no wait...hear me out."
"Did he just say...nobody wants to make me dinner?"
"No...its Akon...nobody wants to see us together."
"I don't get the Paris Hilton thing. If I was that rich, I would always have people driving me around, so I wouldn't even have to worry about DUIs."
"If I was rich I'd have a helicopter take me everywhere."
