I Wish I Were….

When we are young, and even today we think “Damn I cannot wait until I’m (insert age here).” Often times we look towards an age because supposedly everyone is more mature and the high school drama would be a mere memory. We hope to grow more mature and NOT throw tantrums or NOT lose money or to NOT be told what to do from a family member because you are old enough to make such decisions. We also look up to this age to gain things whether material or not. One thing, however, that is ALWAYS over looked is: although we cannot wait to be “(insert age here)” we first have to be every other age before that. Age is like an onion, just because you are the outer layer, doesn’t mean the other layers underneath aren’t there for you to learn from. As for me today I’m 19 but I am also 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 and 1.
