The Future I Believe In

Growing Up

I'm finally growing up. The sweet 16 is nearing right around the corner.

Physically and mentally I'm growing. Not much in height over the years but looking back, I'm more mature.

I realize more things as I'm growing older. Listening to the music I grew up with, I understand the words. I see the emotions in the eyes of others.

Looking back, I was a different person. Making foolish mistakes, doing bad in school, and lying.

When I was younger, I was a compulsive liar. I lied about almost everything. My parents hated that and eventually I had to stop.

Many memories have been made throughout my years. Many people have left, some without a choice...

I've felt grief, love, and anxiety. All in which I've learned the hard way. Those emotions have helped me become who I am.

I thank the people who have put up with me. The teachers, the friends and the family. Most have been there with me when I am broken.

I need to start living in the moment... And this is when I start making life worth living.
