I once was a kid all I had was a dream.
I think that I’m going to start a new blog. One that defines me as an adult. I’m going through a whole new slew of adventures and this blog has served me well, but I need something that is a fresh start. I feel like my perspective has changed. Life is a different story now than it was five years ago.
“Tell Mommy I’m sorry, this life is a party, I’m never growing up.”
Now I realize that growing up may not be such a terrible thing after all. I know that it’s still a roller coaster ride, but at the same time it’s walking into the unknown, with the feeling of what’s around the corner? It’s kind of exciting that life is now an array of possibilities and choices without things like age and experience (or lack thereof) prohibiting growth.
Now is when I can be totally, 100 percent the person that I want to be. Not who my parents want me to be, or who society says I should be, but who I want to be. Who I choose to be. That’s the beauty of adulthood. Yes, there are responsibilities- that’s unavoidable. But the experiences that I am facing now are shaping me into the kind of wife, parent, aunt, and grandmother that I want to be. I think that’s pretty amazing. I hope that if there is ever one thing my children can learn from me, It’s that life is an amazing gift, and it’s OK to make the most of it.
So, farewell for now. These are cherished memories and they have also played a part in who I have become up to this point in my life. This isn’t goodbye, it’s just see you later. I’m off to make new mistakes, learn new things, and meet new people. Thanks for sharing the ride.
Love always,
Ariana Christine.
