now that i'm 19 i'm basically an old lady who loves old lady scents, has an urge to crochet all the time (i'm serious..pinterest has great ideas) and i sometimes look up songs from fifty years ago..i'm serious. but i honestly don't think i'm more "mature". i mean...i still enjoy watching disney channel and i told my six year old cousin i wanted a mermaid barbie... BUT i definitely feel "wiser" in a way.
it's interesting to look back through my journal and pictures between my 18th and 19th birthday because i have "grown up" and learned SO much more than i ever expected.
the most important thing i've learned about is something i don't think i'll ever stop learning about and that is myself and who i am and what i want to be. i have changed so much and i'm so glad i have. i'm no longer that girl who spends numerous hours locked in her room on social media (okay well i'm still addicted to social media but i get out more!) i've made amazing friends, discovered something i was good at, and i have done so many amazing things i never would've thought i would ever enjoy.
so i can honestly say it's been the best year of my life. <3
