Just a Number

To be an adult. God. So much responsibility thrown at you so quickly. Suddenly the world has decided that you are your own person. No longer under your guardian's rule; responsible for your own actions, whatever form that may take.

Life is a journey though, not about the destination. It's not a road either, it's an open field. You forge your own path, yeah, at times it might be easier to follow someone else's footprints, but they will never truly fit you.

So my advice to you, enjoy the journey. If you see something shiny, turn towards it. Love your life. Make choices that you can look back on and laugh about. Get arrested, go to a protest, stop on the side of the road for that picture that looks perfect, date the guy that makes sure you never stop laughing, LIVE.

Eighteen is just a number, Eighty is just a number. You are you. Nothing less, nothing more, so be you. And enjoy every moment of it.
