Do you ever wonder where you are? You wake up in the morning, and you're in a different bed, under a roof that isn't yours, and next to a person you didn't realize you knew? I'm not referencing a one night stand. I'm talking about how things move so quickly all at once, and you wake up one day to a different life. It's not a question of how you got there because you're completely full and conscious of how you ended up where you are. It's really the question: when? When did I stop being sixteen? When did I decide that Brandon was my life partner? When did I jump into this jumble of adulthood? Everything is unbelievably different. There's a true difference between being an independent girl and an independent woman. I'm somewhere in between that, and it's such an intimidating place. It's a form of purgatory that holds you back from being the adult you think you can be and places you just above being a headstrong teenager that questions everything.
I guess life really is a teacher. You can't learn how to be self-sufficient from anything else.
Be beautiful, be strong, but most importantly, be good people.
