Three months old

College is just around the corner. It fills me with both excitement and fear. The unknown scares me but I love the simple idea of change. I can’t wait to leave this town that has stopped me from growing for years now. I feel like a Popsicle stuck to its stick but the summer will melt me away to freedom. I’ve grown up more in the past year than I ever thought I could. Finally I am starting to trust in myself and make the right decisions. My friends have become my binding, in a book that I am just starting to write. They don’t even know how much they hold me together. Weekends have pulled me through the week days, and those weekdays have torn me apart. This has easily been the most draining year I have ever had. But Fridays brought hope and filled my cup back up. Their houses have become my second, third, and fourth homes. These three girls have been constants in my life for four years. They are the icing to my cake, the sweetness in a world so sour. The X have become my family, a family who I owe everything to.
