Growing Up.

I'm 19 years old and as far as I'm concerned that's very young.  I'm just starting out my life as an individual and I'm so excited.  I don't wish it away at all but I'm so ready for the next few years of my life.  The next few "mile markers" are so exciting and I can't wait to reach them.  I'm growing up and starting to realize that I'm going to be paying bills, going to the grocery store, and living on my own very soon! A part of me is scared, and a part of me is excited.  I know that I will always have my parents to fall back on, but I have to be responsible enough to know that they aren't always going to be there for me.  As far as short term goals go for me, I can't wait to transfer to VCU, get my own place, become educated and graduate.  As far as long term goals go for me, I can't wait to start my career, get married, and start a family of my own.  There are so many good things coming my way, I can honestly say that I'm truly blessed.  I'm blessed to have such a forgiving God, a supporting family, awesome friends, and a loving boyfriend.  Without them, I wouldn't be able to grow up.  The experiences that I have gone through are a part of me and make me who I am. Thank you to everyone! :)
