First day of the rest of our lives...

Ok, seriously, enough with the depressing posts. For now at least. There is so much in life we have to be thankful for. So much to be happy about. My summer is coming to an end. I am excited for fall and even for school but at the same time I don't want summer to leave me. I love summer and I feel like ive missed out on most of it. All of the things I used to do and used to love I didn't this year. Either because I didn't have any time or just because my interests had changed. Life. It never stops. It just keeps going. And if you aren't moving with it, it will move on without you. 
We are growing up. Becoming adults. When I think about it, and I realize I only have 2 years of high school left. I always thought I would be overjoyed once I reached this point. But the reality (and no, I don't use that word very much!) but the reality is that this fact doesn't make me as happy as I anticipated. It makes me a little sad. This part of my life is almost over. Oh, yea, I know I have a whole 2 years left. And  2 years is a lot of time but when you think about it, ive already lived 16. 2 more doesn't really seem like a lot when you look at it like that. 
But don't get me wrong. I love it. I love where I'm at and I'm excited for the next chapter of my life to write itself. I'm excited to see what God is gonna do in my life. The paths He is gonna lead my down, the doors He will open... And the ones He will close. I'm excited!
Really, I'm just trying to take more time to appreciate my life. Where I'm at. RIGHT. NOW. 
And I love it. <3
