21 Years*

(A little snippet of my realizations)

After turning the ripe young age of 21 I feel like so much has come into perspective for me. Although I am still on this journey trying to figure out who I am I feel like after 21 years of life I have gotten a lot closer. I've learned to say what I mean and mean what I say because I might not be here the next day to say it. Also, don't let people and their ideals bring you down and determine your self worth. Be you for you, not for anyone else. The past two years have been really eye opening when it comes to friendships, I've found that people I used to call close friends now hold the title of an acquaintance which is hurtful but fulfilling in the long run. And the people that are still in my life are deserving of being called a friend. Life is full of tests and its up to you how you choose to pass those test. I've made some mistakes (as all of us have) but I've come to understand how not to make the same mistake twice, I've had temptations but they havent gotten the best of me. After the relationships, the flings, broken friendships, education, and work hardships I still have yet to figure out what kind of person I really am. I wonder when we do reach that breaking point, when everything comes together and makes sense. All I can say is after 21 years of age I haven't figured it out and who's to say I ever will.
