Growing Older

Growing Older

  Everyone has a fear, whether it’s ghosts, spiders, or some would say “growing up”. My heart races as I hope, and count down the days. I can’t wait to be older, but not everyone wishes the same thing. Growing up and slowly getting closer to 18 the excitement gets stronger. “Don’t wish to grow older, if I could stay young forever, I would”. My mind gets blurry as I think about what people, who are way older than me say. Growing older is a scary task for many, but maybe it’s the perspective of growing up that scared them. As a junior, I still have many things to learn many challenges, and many obstacles to face.

 

      Growing older is realizing not everyone is going to be there for you, and it’s okay to grow older and move on. Learning from the past and achieving your goals in the future. My heart is set on growing older and leaving this small town, support or not. I hope to achieve many goals as I get older and help people realize growing older, may not be that bad. Creating a new book for your life, new people, and new chapters isn’t always a bad idea.
