Back in the day, when I was 16…
Twas only two years ago I reached that monumental mark of 16 years old. Everything changed. And here I am at another monumental mark, the age of eighteen…and I don’t feel any different than I did one day ago. Granted, I feel different than I did a couple of weeks ago, before I moved in here at Carson-Newman, but in twenty-four hours my life hasn’t changed. I love that about life. It’s a process. You’re moving steadily onward into adulthood, into middleage-hood, and into old-hood. What would be the good in being the same 17 year old for a year, only to become a new 18 year old one day. Growth is a continuous process, essential to life. It may not always seem good, but in the end you find yourself a different person.
Life is good.
