Grow Up

Wed, 07/04/2018 - 13:04 -- tagbara

We all get tired. We get sick. We all want to give up. We all want to quit sometimes. But that was never in God’s plan for us. As a young child life seemed so simple. I always thought this was the life. It couldn’t get any harder than this. By the age of only eleven I thought all the knowledge I had was all I needed to live in this big world. Turns out I was all the way wrong. I realized that later in life I would have to be 100% mature. By the age of 17 I completely turned over a new leaf and started to long for adulthood. I longed to do what I wanted to do. I longed for my own life but wasn’t ready to take full responsibility for what it entailed. By eighteen I realized all those tools my parents gave my we’re preparing for this big event we call life. All this time I thought I was ready. I thought life after high school would be completely different. I was wrong again. Here I am getting ready to become a college freshman. This is only the beginning. Follow me to see how I turnout in the end.
