All Grown Up

I'm just thinking about life.
Everyone has all grown up.
Everyone has jobs.
We have all graduated high school.
We are all making life changing decisions.
We are all leaping into things with unknown outcomes.
Dreams are turning into reality.
Smiles are turning into laughter and true happiness.
For once, I look around....and every one seems to be truly happy.

It was only 12 years ago that we were all meeting each other.
Taking naps together.
Playing house together.
Learning to read and write together..
Those naps turned into sleepless nights spent together.
Playing house turned into doing homework and projects.
Learning to read and write turned into how to do prom hair and dealing with boys.
We've learned so much more.
We've learned that people change.
We've learned that things go wrong, but life goes on.
We've pushed some around and helped others up.
We've grown to know who our life long friends will be.
We have been through it all together.


It makes me happy to look around and notice that all my friends are happy.
Not just happy, but truly happy.
The happy where everything feels perfect.
The happy where you get the feeling that you are unstoppable. 
The happy that brings you alive.
True and clear happiness.

The mistakes and regret from our past have led us to this happiness.
Those tears that were shed have cleared the view.
The people changed have strengthened the weak.
The apologies left unsaid were eventually spoken because, we have grown up.
We have moved on.

Everyone has their own personal struggles.
We all go through heart breaks and hard times in life.
What we do with those struggles will say a lot about our characters.
When we screw up, those who stick around are who we know to count on.
We all go through the same basic motion.
We all have many emotions.
We are not alone in the world.

Fate has worked its magic on us.
For that we should be grateful.
I love my life, and the people that have stayed through out it.
I love my family and I love my religion.
I wouldn't change a thing. 
I've had my rough moments and I've let people see that.
But I know that I've had my shining moments.
The truth is, I don't need to impress anyone besides myself. 
I'm the only one that matters.
No matter what the moment may be, it doesn't matter who has seen it.
I have who I need in my life.



“Someday, somewhere – anywhere, unfailingly, you’ll find yourself, and that, and only that, can be the happiest or bitterest hour of your life.”
