Wisdom, according to a 22-year-old

On the eve before my 22nd birthday I sit here at the library, pondering the 21st year of my life. I feel as though so much has happened to make me grow as a person. New responsibilities, new interests, new love/old love, new friends, new bed comforter, a new understanding of the people I love, new camera, new-found-freedom, a new appreciation for reading and writing, [not a new phone], a new bike, new adventures with old friends, new boots, new fashion sense, new music, a new understanding of the word friendship...

I know it is only been a year, but I feel as though it was a year that truly changed me [ not in a good or a bad way, it just did.]

"For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else." - Ralph Waldo Emerson. [ the man sure knew the right thing to say.]

This quote makes me feel at peace about the certain things that I feel I missed in the past year...


Happy Birthday to me!
