Growing up has been one of the hardest things I've ever done.
And it happens and you don't even realize it, until one day BAM! You feel it and it's real.
Like Someone punched you, but you just saw the bruise. In one of my clases we're reading this book Brown Girl, Brownstones and wow, i sympathize with this character in so many painfully unfortunate ways. I have a feeling this book we're reading now won't be much different. The main character already seems to be so familiar.
One thing is for sure though, getting older is much cooler than being younger was. Things make a lot more sense, for the most part. Granted, there are still things that are completely confusing and just frustrating, but things seem to be less tanlged. A lot of the fat is cut off, making life just plain easier to chew.
Even though things are hard right now, and I've been kinda down more often than not, I can see the process and the purpose, making it much MUCH more bearable. I think that's what I always missed when I was younger. I remember always feeling like I missed something. The "why".
Things change and sometimes it's just nice :)
