The Future is so Bright....Gotta Wear Shades

There is a certain beauty to knowing yourself, to understanding who you are, and knowing what you want in life. There is also a wholesome sadness there as well because sometimes life is not always about you.

Sometimes you try to be selfish but when you peek into another room, you see big, wide blue eyes staring at you and those wide owl eyes are accompanied by a gigantic toothy smile that makes your life light up. You know then that even though you want to read another chapter or watch a certain TV show or cook a fancy meal or go out with friends, everything you do from that moment forward is dedicated to more of those wide-eyed looks and those heart-wrenching grins. There is a happiness there. An absoluteness. A fulfillment that hasn't yet been fulfilled.

There is a lifetime of movies and candy, playtime and Band-Aids, laughter and weeping, hugging and tree-climbing, banter and sarcasm, high-school boyfriends and sex talks, car rides and plane travel....there is a lifetime of lessons and fun and pure awesomeness.

I look forward to the both the weirdness and the awesomeness.
