I was thinking the other day about something...what was it...wait for it...okay, I can't remember. Basically, it was some basic part of life, which, when I thought about it, was surprisingly shocking that I am allowed to do. My line was something like "like, who decided that all of a sudden I am qualified to do this?" You know, it was something like climbing a mountain or picking out my own outfit. Sheesh.
I mean, I was a kid. We were just kids. Now we're adults (at least legally) and don't live at home and can ride a horse or drive to the store or go on vacation or cut our hair all by our lonesome.
I decided that I have seen a definite sign of aging in my life: when people who used to be *ahem* interested in you are now getting married I think you've reached a whole new level.
Yesterday? Yesterday my hair was lighter red and still curly, I was missing three teeth, and I didn't know how to spell beautiful. ("BEE-AY-OOTIFUL")
Today, I am gradually realizing that I can go on vacation when I want to and it's okay to have a brownie right before bed. You know, just 'cause I want to.
And tomorrow? Tomorrow I'll have 10 children and live in Estonia somewhere.
It's funny how you just grow up.
