Seventeen?

So...last night of being sixteen. I have to admit, while exciting, it is at the same time somewhat depressing. I think this past year has changed my view on a lot of things, people, and life. I guess I just look at certain things in a different perspective than I used to. It is not neccessarily a bad thing, it's just different. This past week I realized how sad growing up is. Call me a fool for dwelling on childhood memories, wistful to return to a time when there were no worries...to care free days filled with nothing but running around barefooted and riding bikes and playing Cops and Robbers with the other kids in the neighborhood. I never thought I would reach this stage in my life...and while feeling so much older, I still feel so young. I can't even begin to explain the things I've been thinking about this past week....it has been pretty much about life in general, and I know you have all had days like that, where you sit for hours, just thinking and reminiscing. Hooray.

On a lighter note...BIRTHDAY!! Yee haw!! I guess whoever wants to go is going to meet at the mall at 6:30. What we are going to do there I have no idea. I challenge anyone to a taco eating contest. I can guarantee that I will kick your butt!

So it is with this, my friends, that I leave you...my last blog of sixteen!!!! Thank you all for being so good to me, and thank you to all of you who have been a part of my last year-you have truly changed me for the better. Thanks for everything, guys! I love you all!
