Still Young
So i have been thinking a lot about where i am today and how life went so fast. When i was younger i remember that i couldn't wait to grow up. being a teenager would be so awesome and i was just so excited...kinda like the movie 13 going on 30...i hope that most or all of you have seen it and if you haven't i suggest you get on that its worth your time. :) but that is how i remember feeling in most of my younger years. However, now i feel like i am comparing my life to peter pan and i wish i could live in never never land and NEVER grow up. many would probably say that i am a sheltered child, and i can admit that YEAH! i was a bit sheltered while living at home, and still am now even though I'm living away from home on my own able to be free and branch out and do as i please... but i don't. i find myself living exactly as i would if i was still at home, going to bed at a reasonable time, going to all my classes, doing my homework, going to church regularly, and i still have yet to go to a party.... but i am totally okay with that. i think i realize how i was blessed with such an amazing family that i would never do anything that i think would disappoint them. Being away at college has forced me to grow up a lot but really to be honest... for having been away from home for almost a full school year...i still feel so young..and frankly I'm okay with that! :)

Wow kelly its crazy but I have been thinking about the same things. My birthday is quickly approaching and since my thirteenth birthday I have never been a huge fan of them. I love being young and living with my family. Its crazy to me how fast my teenage years have flown by. I wish in many ways I could repeat them one more time! ha maybe we should hit up never never land together :-)
This past weekend my friends and I had a long conversation about the same thing. It seems as though so many people are thinking about this right now. I remember when I was really young all I wanted was to be older so I could do all kinds of things that looked to be cool. Now I just want to stay young a little longer and not grow up so fast. I have always loved the movie Peter Pan and now I love it even more... so if you and Carly are going to hit up never never land I would love to join you!
