as I'm turning 20 tomorrow, I felt the need to write some things down...

turning 20 seems like just any other birthday, but when i sat down to think about it, i realized, that i've got a lot of thoughts on what it means to turn 20 years old

i'm officially not a teenager anymore
growing up feels more important now as I'm heading to 30 years old
i could be married in the next ten years. i could be having kids in the next ten years. what!
i've lived for 7300 days so... 10.518.975,3 minutes
i'm kind of sad thinking about how my childhood is over
getting older is scary... really scary
i'm now two decades old. that's old
i can't decide if i'm sad about not being a teenager anymore, or happy...
it feels like life is more serious business now
turning 20 doesn't mean that other adults will guess that I'm 20, sadly
i still can't buy alcohol without showing my ID
most of my time on this earth, i've spent in school
ten years ago I was 10. wow! so much has changed since then. how much more will change in the next ten years?
i occasionally still feel like a 13 year old girl in a candy store
i'm finally learning to not care about other people's opinions
i graduate from college in two years. where did the time go?
maybe i should start being less impulsive, and save up some money
the next couple of years are definitely going to be filled with great adventures
i can't add -teen to the end of my age anymore
age is honestly just a number. i shouldn't be anxious or worried at all

life goes by so fast, and it goes by faster and faster...

we have to live each day with a thankful heart and know that each day counts because the days add up to years, and the years add up to a single life that we were given to live
