What�s the best thing about being at the age you are now?

I don't think we ever really think about that question. We're always looking ahead to the next big milestone.

12 years old sucks, I can't wait to be a teenager.
Being 15 sucks, I want to be 16 to drive legally.
I don't like being 17, 18 is when I smoke and am probably gonna graduate high school.
20 is no fun, 21 is when the fun starts.

I can honestly say I have never thought a particular age sucked. I mean, anything under 18, we are so blessed for what we have. A roof over our heads, people that love us, home cooked food, etc. For a lot of us, our parents pay for all of that, so we get it for free. But, no one sees it that way. Not at the time. Everyone always looks back when they're in their 20s and see how nice life really was, contrary to how we may have envisioned it at the time.

I just saw this question on Tumblr, and I thought it was so interesting that I had to address it.

I had a tough life growing up, but easier than what a lot of people have. I have no illusions of that, and I knew it at the time. I didn't let that stop me from enjoying the life I was given. If I let every terrible thing that happened to me keep me down and sad and depressed, I never would have crawled out of the hole I'd have dug for myself. I lived with no regrets. I may not have made the best choices, but they were my choices. I made it right again. That's why I don't regret anything. At every age, every stage of my life, I had ups and downs. No specific age had more ups than downs. There were a couple years where the downs were so terrible, so horrible, but all the little ups made it better for me. Helped me live with the downs.

What’s the best thing about being at the age you are now?

For me, at 22 (which I haven't even been for a month, yet), I'd have to say the independence I have. At the beginning of the year, I'll be paying for my own health insurance. I'll be filing my own taxes this year. I can afford to pay my tuition next semester by myself. The only thing my parents will be paying for me is my car insurance. And that's because I'm only really borrowing it until I can afford to buy a new one- hopefully next spring. Then, everything is on me. On my own. Not a whole lot of people my age can say the same thing at 22, and for that I'm most proud.

So, now, I'm asking you: What’s the best thing about being at the age you are now?

This Post Brought to You via....

the internet I have bought and paid for all on my own!!
I was supposed to have the internet hooked up last week, but something wasn't connected correctly. They came out and fixed it today, so I just had to set it up.
My network's name is IAimtoMisbehave. Brownie points to whoever knows where this comes from!
I am just so excited about the whole thing!

And tomorrow I am getting an iphone and going on my own plan!!!
If anyone wants my number, pm me, and if I like you enough, we can exchange numbers and text all the time! XD

On another note, I'm gonna redo all of my worlds. Yay!

Love

Joe told me he loved me last night. A few times. He told me he has for a long time, but he was just worried. I wanted him to elaborate, but we didn't want to ruin the moment and kill the mood.
i am so happy right now. My first boyfriend and I told each other we loved each other, but I never meant it. Now, I do. I can feel it. It's such an amazing feeling.

My Fault

Well, I had a horrible night on Tuesday. I was texting a friend of mine about Joe saying, and I quote, "Joe's being all caring and shit. Hard to stay mad."
First of all, if you know me at all, you know that me saying shit isn't a negative conotation. It's just how I talk. It's the same as saying, "He's being all caring and sweet." But, that's not how I talk. And when I say mad, I meant hurt from the previous weekend. you guys know the story.
Well, I accidentally sent the text to Joe instead. I realized right away what I did and texted him again lying and saying it was about someone else. He called me out on it and I lied again. I just panicked. I didnt want to hurt his feelings I guess, and I didnt want to make him mad at me.
We texted all night even though we were two feet away from each other because we didn't want to fight in front of his friends. He was hurt, and I totally understand.He has every right to be. I apologized so many times and gave my side of the story, but he didn't think he could trust me anymore. I felt terrible for three days. He texted me Thursday night and told me he told his friends about the whole thing, and they're mad at him for being mad at me still. His friends love me. I went over to talk to him Thursday night, and his friends were high fiving me and telling me they were happy to see me. And everyone I've told the situation to agreed that he's overreacting. I dont agree with that at all. Trust and honesty is a huge deal to me, and I broke that. He has every right to be mad at me. Thankfully, I think we're getting better and are gonna be okay.
It's just hard right now.

In other news, I found out what's wrong with me. I have ovarian cysts. birth control pills should help get rid of them, though. Thank God.
