when life gets a little bumpy sometimes i have the tendency to just wish away my situation.
when teenagers get all uptight and judgmental i wish that i could rewind to 10 years ago when social status was solely based off of how short your pencil was…
and other times when girls go insane i wish i could fast forward 10 years to when the only drama i'll have to deal with is convincing my 5 year old to wear pants to school instead of a tutu.
however, my future is extremely imitate, and frankly, that is terrifying.
so recently, i have become so so grateful for this beautiful phase of my life, however bumpy it is. i've started to realize how much i am going to miss high school and all the familiar comforts of living at home. even the boring saturday nights spent trying to decide what to do no longer seem like "failures" to me anymore because of their approaching extinction.
i've started to realize how amazing the people in my life are and how much i am going to miss them. i am going to miss my parent's anxious love and the way my little sister belts in the shower. i am going to miss my go-to girls and texting lyrics in all caps. i'm going to miss coming home to a full fridge on mondays and doing "hoodrat shiz" with my friends on saturday nights. bonfires in warner valley. ditching assemblies for mini ice cream cones at mcdonalds. showing up to games an hour early to get a good seat in the student section. pulling in to the parking lot with your music blasting and your friends doing ridiculous dance moves in the back seat. the risk of parking in faculty. punching your nearest homie at the sight of a yellow car. dancing in the kitchen while you clean up dinner. slushy runs and soccer games. hiking "the D." staying long after school is over just to catch up with friends. getting your mind blown in physics. waking up at the crack of dawn to go to the gym with your gym-buddies. sharing clothes with your sister. the pride of running the aux cord. roasting your friend in the group message. first kiss stories. waffle wednesdays. caving. promposals.
all too familiar, yet gone all too soon.
as one of my favorite songs often warns me
"you're gonna miss this, you're gonna want this back, you're gonna wish these days, hadn't gone by so fast. these are some good times, so take a good look around, you may not know it now, but your gonna miss this."
you're right, trace adkins, i really really am gonna miss this.
but i don't have to worry about that right now, because right now, i get to live this.
life is so cool!
much love,
