Blessed.

This has been an amazing birthday so far and the day is not even here yet! I have been so blessed to spend time with my friends and parents. I feel like at the end of the day I have some consistent, amazing people in my life that continue to bring me joy, laughter, and support. Turning eighteen, seemingly all of a sudden, is crazy. Sometimes I want to go back to being five years old and clueless. But, then I realize I love where I am in my life; I love this discovery phase where I'm finding out who I am and who the people are that are really gonna be there for me. I love the element of not knowing that comes along with the transition out of high school. As scary as it is to wonder about my future, it's all the same, just as exhilarating. Of course gifts are pretty great too, but my life would be equally as great without them. My friends and family make me feel so genuinely happy! I'm just randomly smiling even though I have all of this homework to do before morning (of my birthday *frown*). But who cares, JESUS LOVES ME IN SPITE OF BAD GRADES! Hallelujah!
