On Growing Up

You know when you're this little kid who has endless boundaries and all these hopes and dreams? When at one point you were teased or bullied so you in visioned a day where you would blossom into this older gorgeous person with all the confidence in the world?

The truth is, all your insecurities we once had as children are still our insecurities. All the things you thought would make you happy one day, you could be blessed with but it could still be not good enough. Some days I feel like the girl who got everything she ever wanted but still feels like she has nothing. 

When I was a little girl, I had a wish list of all the things I wanted: to be pretty, have money, a good boyfriend. And attend the best college. I hoped that one day I would blossom into this..beautiful butterfly, haha.

When I look at life through photographs I know that surely I have been blessed. My friends and I have had our fair share of good grades, school dances, graduations, theatre shows, and all that jazz. I've been in a loving relationship and experienced the thrill of being young free and single. I've had the university experience and so much more. 

Overall, growing up has been...fun. It has also had its fair share of difficulties. I lost friends and family members along the way. But in hindsight, I wouldn't trade the life I have for anything in the would. 

Good morning everyone and here's my food for thought for the day. Have a great day all you readers out there :)<3.
